Book Description
Excerpt from A Sermon Giving a Historical Account of St. John's Church, Georgetown, D. C., Delivered October 17, 1843: And an Address on the Occasion of the Funeral of Abel P. Upshur Others, Who Lost Their Lives by the Calamity on Board the Princeton, Feb; 28, 1844, and Also a Farewell Sermon Delivered April 7, 1844, on His Resignation of the Rectorship of St. John's Ch "The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad." - Psalm cxxvi, 3. This grateful exclamation of the Psalmist, ray brethren, becomes us on this occasion. After more than four months intermission of our services, we are permitted, by the good providence of God, to meet again as a congregation in our enlarged, improved, and beautified edifice. Gratitude to God that he has enabled us to bring this good work to completion, should fill our hearts. To the zeal of the vestry, who, feeling the necessity of larger accommodations for the stability and support of the Church and for the spiritual wants of the community, suggested the enlargement of the building to the congregation - to the ready response of the congregation to the appeal of the vestry, with a large, Christian, self-denying liberality worthy of all commendation, manifested by a subscription for the object which, taking into consideration the number and means of the contributors, is seldom equalled in amount - to the skill of the gentleman who furnished the plan for the enlargement of the building - to the liberality and labor of the ladies of the congregation, who procured and prepared the furniture of the pulpit, desk, and chancel - to the unwearied and faithful diligence of the building committee, and I may add, to the successful efforts of the builder to render the edifice complete and commodious; to these, under God, do we owe it, that we are permitted to meet this morning, none of our number lost by death, in our pleasant and beautified sanctuary, hallowed by many sacred associations, and to realize "how amiable are thy tabernacles, thou Lord of Hosts!" Brethren, if our love be as large as our mercies, and our lives express in any good degree the gratitude which we owe, we shall be a devoted people!
