Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Abstract of the Proceedings of the National Lord´s Day Convention: Held in the City of Baltimore, on the 27th and 28th November, 1844 The Convention of the friends of the Lord´s day, assembled to devise means for the promotion of the sanctification of that day, met in the First Baptist church in the city of Baltimore, on Wednesday the 27th day of November, A. D., 1844, - at 10 o´clock, a. m., and was called to order by the Rev. Beverly Waugh, Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church; who made a few preliminary remarks, adverting to the importance of the object which had convened the assembly, and to its sacred character, as demanding of all who engaged in it their purest feelings, their wisest thoughts, and their most deliberate action. He then proposed that the Hon. Judge Willard Hall, of Delaware, be invited to the chair, to organize the meeting. This proposition being unanimously agreed to, the Hon. Judge Hall took the chair accordingly. He proceeded to observe, on so doing, that the solemnity of the occasion on which the meeting had assembled, was such as should induce those who composed it, deeply to feel and humbly to acknowledge their own inability to accomplish, without the divine assistance and blessing, any thing acceptable to heaven or worthy of the cause; and he therefore proposed that, in the outset of their proceedings, solemn prayer should be offered to Almighty God. The Throne of Grace was thereupon addressed by the Rev. James G. Hamner, of Baltimore. Mr. Hamner then nominated Messrs. Charles W. Ridgely, of Baltimore, and Rev. O. S. Powell, of Philadelphia, to act as Secretaries of the Convention, pro tem. The nominations were agreed to, and the above named gentlemen were appointed Secretaries. On motion of the Rev. Eliphalet Nott, D. D., Ordered, That a Committee of Five be appointed, for the purpose of nominating suitable officers of the Convention and Rules of Order.
