Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Triumph in Suffering: A Discourse Delivered at the Funeral of the Rev. I. S. Spencer, D.D., Pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn L. I Notwithstanding the excellencies of his personal and official character, the strong and lurid light in which our departed brother is presented to my own thoughts, is his triumph in suffering. The cross and the crown - present suffering and the future glory - are fitting themes on this mournful occasion. There is nothing in Christianity, nor in the character of Christians, nor in the relation they sustain to the Church or the world, that exempts them from present suffering. Whoever reads the Epistles addressed to the early Christians, will be convinced that, so far from being exempted from this allotment, their trials were such as have rarely been surpassed. They were set forth as "spectacles" of suffering, in order to show what living Christianity is, what it can endure, and how it shines in the hottest furnace. In the strong language of Paul, "They were always delivered unto death for Jesus sake, that the life, also, of Jesus might be made manifest in their mortal flesh." But they had consolations to which other men were strangers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
