Book Description
Excerpt from God's Mercies Towards the Nation: A Sermon Preached in St. Paul's Chapel, New York, Thanksgiving Day, 1861 How long is it, brethren, since last we kept Thanksgiving Day? How long, how much have we lived meanwhile? Yon talk of a twelvemonth; but do you not rather mean twelve years? Have these been only months through which we have been passing? Is it but one short year since, as a united people, we gave God thanks for all the blessings of His merciful providence? Is it but seven months since the first gun broke the dream, since the first shot tore through the line of the nations quiet and peaceable progress? It seems as though one had lived half a century, at least, in this short space. It seems as though, since last Thanksgiving, our world had been turned upside down. We have kept two national fasts; we have come through fire and water; we have been called to the royal heritage of sorrow; we have been taught as if by briers and thorns; we have drained the cup of humiliation in stern, sad silence. One need not be ashamed to confess to days of concentrated bitterness of soul and spirit as known to him, but too well, in these months just gone.

Book Description
Excerpt from Our Cause in Harmony With the Purposes of God in Christ Jesus: A Sermon Preached in Christ Church, Savannah, on Thursday, September 18th, 1862, Being the Day Set Forth by the President of the Confederate States, as a Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving, for Our Manifold Victories, and Especially for the Fields of Manassas And to acknowledge Christ and a subject race, brought from their distant homes and placed under its charge for culture, for elevation and for salvation, and while so placed contributing by its labor to the welfare and comfort of the world. What a trust from God! What reliance has he placed upon our faithfulness and our integrity! What a sure confidence does it give us in his protection and favor! His divine arrangements are placed in our keeping. Will he not preserve them? His divine purposes seem to be intermingled with our success. Will he not be careful to give us that success and just in the way that he shall see to be best for us? His purposes are yea and amen in Christ Jesus and cannot be overturned by man. It places our warfare above any estimate which unspiritual minds can make of it. While many other motives are urging us to the battle-field and we rush forward to defend our liber ties, our homes, our altars, God is super-adding this other motive - the secret of his own will - is making it to produce within us, unconsciously perhaps to ourselves, a power which is irresistible. Our conscience in this war is thus made right towards God and towards man; our heart is filled with his fear and his love; our arm is nerved with almost super-human strength, and we have reason to thank him, not only for what he has done for us, but for what he has restrained us from doing for ourselves and others from doing for us. This noble cause has made him our guide and our overruling governor, and we are moving forward, as I firmly believe, as truly under his direction, as did the people of Israel when he led them with a pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night.

Book Description
Excerpt from God's Marvellous Doing for the Nation: A Sermon, Preached on the Day Appointed by the President for National Thanksgiving and Prayer, in the Church of the Epiphany, Philadelphia This is the Lord's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. -psalm cxviii. 23. The Psalm in which our text is found, is what is called a Messianic Psalm. All its utterances refer to Christ. The marvellous doing here spoken of, has reference to the great work of man's redemption, wrought out by our glorious Saviour. Of this, it may with truth be said, that it is the Lord's doing. The design of it is his. The execution of it is his. The results of it are his. And this doing of the Lord is indeed marvellous. In the magnitude of its blessings, it is marvellous. In the extent to which these blessings reach, both as to the number who are to share in them, and as to the period of their duration, the work which secures them, is marvellous. And it is marvel lous, too, in the'.gracious manner in which these blessings are bestowed on the needy and perishing children of men. This is the true and primary sense in which the words of our text should be taken. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
