Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Discourse (on the New Holiday,) Preached in Harvard Church: On Sunday February 22, 1857 "He was worthy for whom we should do this, for he loved out nation." Our State, our whole nation in fact, has inaugurated a new holiday. Popular feeling and legislative enactments have decided that, henceforward, the birthday of Washington shall be treated as a public festival. There is no opposing feeling, no remonstrance to the measure. It carries with it a general consent of sympathy. He is felt to be worthy for whom we are to do this; for he loved our nation; he made it a nation. And yet it is a great tribute! The highest public homage which the people of the whole earth render to the Supreme Being is in consecrating to him a weekly Sabbath; in rescuing one day in each week from common uses, and calling it holy to God. The power of the religious sentiment in general, and in its particular and specific directions, has also been strikingly manifested in the setting up of yearly holydays among tribes, peoples and nations.
