Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Centennial Discourse: Delivered Before the First Congregational Society in Chicopee, September 26, 1852 Isaiah LIX: 21. "As for me, this is my covenant with them saith the Lord: my spirit that is upon them, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seeds seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and forever." The great means of perpetuating the institutions of religion are God´s Word and Spirit. These he grants to his people in such measures as they are prepared to receive and improve. The pious parent, taking the word of God as his rule of life, regards it as above all price, and he teaches it faithfully to his children, invoking the divine blessing upon his labors. For he knows that without the aid of the Holy Spirit, the good seed of the word will not spring up and grow; he is therefore no less anxious to secure the Spirits aid, than to sow the seed. And thus through the agency of the Spirit, and faithful parental training, the promises of God are secured and piety is handed down through successive generations. It is therefore one of the greatest blessings, to have a pious ancestry, the influence of whose prayers, and godly life reach down to the latest generations. Thus it is, that God by his Word and Spirit perpetuates the institutions of religion through the line of his people. And it is a remarkably interesting fact, that most of those, who are sincerely and truly pious, had a devoted ancestry. They have been trained up in a christian family by those who themselves were familiar with the family altar in childhood, and were regularly led to the house of God on the Sabbath. We shall find these remarks confirmed by the investigation which we are about to make into the history of this people.
