Book Description
Excerpt from An Historical Discourse: Delivered in the First Congregational Church, of Greenwich, Conn, on Sunday, March 16, 1879 Men are so susceptible that one word will often dishearten them; and again, one word will often kindle a great, brave spirit The same event recited by two observers will produce the most unlike results. We tinge the story with our own personality If we are despondent, we impart the same sombre spirit to those who touch us. If we are rich in hope, we enrich others, and hopefulness marks the life about us. As one reviews the life of a church or a people, he finds much that may lie interpreted to bis help or hindrance. It rests with him whether lessons of sorrow and discouragement shall be taught, or whether lessons of joy and good cheer and bright promise. The ancient servants of God had a dark history to recall, considered from one point of view. Disobediences, griefs, wanderings, chastisements ! If Moses and Joshua and the later leaders had dwelt on these things and had never brightened the narratives with the memory of God's mercy and goodness and affection and tender concern, the heart of Israel had sunk within them and they would never have deserted their Egyptian slavery or entered the Promised Land. But through all these dark seasons God speaks to his people as he does to Joshua in our text - "Be strong and of a good courage." In the hour of disappointment He allures by promises. In the day of defeat He emboldens by assurances. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
