Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Hand of God in the Great Man: A Sermon Delivered in the West Church, Boston, Occasioned by the Death of Daniel Webster There is a severity proper to the occasions of the pulpit. It was reared for the praise of God, and cannot lightly echo with that of human beings. He that occupies it forgets its dignity, when he postpones God´s worship to a man´s eulogy; and they who listen, forget its duty, when they would prescribe any private will for the proclamation of heavenly truth. Yet there are earthly events of such moment, that they may sometimes with the Word of God furnish a fit theme for religious discourse. Nay, all events that Lay strong hold of the attention of men, and create universal interest, should be turned to a moral use. The death of the greatest man in a nation, in the language of Job, like a mountain falling, supplies a chosen opportunity for general reflection and instruction.
