Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Things for Northern Men to Do: A Discourse Delivered Lord's Day Evening, July 17, 1836, in the Presbyterian Church, Whitesboro', N. Y "Thus saith the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel; Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord; the temple of the Lord are these. For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbor; if ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt; then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever." Jeremiah vii, 3 - 7. The general sentiment among the Hebrews, with which Jeremiah had almost alone to contend, is clearly indicated by a shocking assertion, which they were wont to throw into the face of Jehovah. Crimes of all sorts and sizes they were in the habit of committing; and then, reeking with corruption and red with blood, of coming and standing before God in his temple, to insult Him with the declaration, that they "were delivered to do all suck abominations." Things had taken such a shape and posture, that they could do no better than to violate the most sacred relations, and break the strongest ties which bound them to heaven and earth. They were connected with a system of abominations which they could not dissolve, and from which they could not break away. With the different parts of this system, the fibres of society had been intertwisted. It was supported by confirmed usages and venerated institutions. What hazards must they not encounter, what risks must they not run, in opposing the sentiment which generally prevailed around them? They thought it better to go with the multitude to do evil, than incur popular odium in resisting it. They could not keep their character and retain their influence, without taking a share in popular iniquity. Their wickedness was a matter of necessity. Still they could not refuse to see that it was driving their country to fearful extremities. Ruin stared them in the face. What could they do? On the one hand, driven by such strong necessities to sin; and on the other, exposed to such exterminating judgement for their iniquities!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discourse Delivered at Plymouth, Mass, Dec; 22, 1832: In Commemoration of the Landing of the Fathers There is a meaning involved in these words not inappropriate to the present occasion. Jesus reminds his disciples of the foundation already laid for the labors, on which they would enter in the exercise of their office as his ministers. In doing this, he uses expressions that may be ap plied in a general sense to the relation, in which all men stand to those who have gone before them in the way of duty, enterprise, or suffering. We devote this day to the memory of our Fa thers. It is theirs, and not our own. There is a spirit of fellowship in the occasion, which reere ates the heart. Whatever may be the strife or toil, to which we are called elsewhere, here we come together in the tie of a common relation to a past age and a past generation. As dutiful chil dren we are willing, I trust, to hush every unkind or unworthy feeling, while we stand in the pre sence of the patriarchs of new-england. I would not do wrong to this anniversary by bring ing it to bear on the passing disputes of our day. Let this ground at least, first trodden by the feetof the Pilgrim Fathers, be dedicated to peaceful and elevated considerations. Let it be to us what Elis was to Greece of old, a territory which was never suffered to be the scene of war, where Greeks of hostile States became for the time bro thers, where soldiers laid down their arms, and re sumed them not till they had left the consecrated region.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Parting Words: A Discourse Delivered in the North Church, Hartford, July 3, 1859 He affirms it even of a bad man, though not that it will be, of course, his sentiment. He is such a man as may well enough be much afraid to die, and he may naturally hope that he will somehow be restored to his country and throne. It is only the prophet's own sen timent, knowing that he will not. Far more clear were the truth of it, if he were a good man, consciously ready to die. He could well enough go home to God; but to be separated from the acquaintances, and scenes, and works, in which he has lived, without going home, is a very different matter. He loses the mortal state, without gaining the immortal; goes away alive into exile from his own life itself, the associations it has constructed, the works it has done, the sympathies it has attracted, the very seeds it has planted and fondly hopes to see in their growth. In tracing brie y the truth of this sentiment, far be it from us to speak lightly of death. To close one's eyes on all that is earthly, to sunder all the ties of mortal love, to wind up the grand affair of trial that we call life, and enter on the fixed result of it, makes the point of death a center where so many mountain like thoughts crowd heavily in, that we may not think of it as being otherwise than a most trying ordeal to pass. We are only to see that there may be a separa tion more trying even than this. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from God and Our Country: A Discourse Delivered in the First Congregational Church in Roxbury, on Fast Day, April 8, 1847 These are the Words of Jesus. The Pharisees were trying to entangle him in a dilemma which they thought he could not escape. They ask him Whether it is right or wrong for them, Jews, to pay tribute to the Roman emperor. The difficulty of the question lay here. The Jews had been conquered, and were held as a Roman province by force of arms. If he said, without qualification, that it was right to pay the tribute, and so acknowledged the rightful su premacy of the emperor, they knew he would expose himself to the indignation of the Jewish people, who held it as one of the most sacred ideas of their reli gions and civil polity, that no sovereign but God should be recognized, or a man of their own race, Whom God should designate and anoint. On the other hand, if he said it was wrong to pay the trib ute, they could go at once to the Roman magistrate and accuse him of seditious words, and so destroy him. The snare was well laid. An ultraist would have been caught in it. But Jesus was no ultraist. They could not drive him into ultraism in matters connected with civil government, social order, and God's prov idence. He calls for a piece of coin, gets the conces sion of his questioners that it bore Caesar's image and superscription, and then gives the answer of the text, in which he recognizes the authority and claims of the emperor, in such a manner that he could not be accused of being other than a peaceable subject, and yet with such restrictions in behalf of the divine law that he could not be charged with giving up the prin ciples of piety and morality.

From this tendency the calls upon me have been exceptionally numerous. When this College had been founded fifty years, having been for seven years its president.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discourse: Delivered on the Fast Day; Recommended by the President of the United States We have been called into the sanctuary to-day - not by any specific ordinance of the Most High; not by the summons of an ecclesiastical sect; nor even by the authoritative requisition of our city or state corporations - but because a deep working sympathy is pervading all parties of this great community, and compelling them to respond to each other in tones of grief. The nation assembles to mourn a departed Chief. Circumstances, strongly marked, and distressing to all, have occurred, revolving around a death-bed scene in the nation's mansion - throwing the public mind back on a fearfully tumultuous scene, and forward in appalling augury of future events - and, at the call of him whom Providence has now placed in the chair of state, we have come to weep before the righteous and omniscient God. This seems to be required on the presumption that we have done, and may still be doing, much which is wrong in his sight. The voice of conscience speaks; and, tracing our affliction back to sin we have committed, compels to humble meditation, and proposes no relief but in earnest prayer. Our chief magistrate feels it to be right we should thus appear in the courts of the Lord; and the millions of our land approve and consent.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Weakness: A Discourse Delivered in the First Church, Brookline, on Fast Day, Sept. 26, 1861 The three months expired, five months have elapsed, -and the rebel power is still unsubdued. The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. The rebels are not crushed, nor even so weakened as yet to despair of final success, or to mani fest the least inclination to recede from their position. So far as they are weakened at all, it is by want of means, by their straitened economy and financial embar rassment, and not by the triumphs of the Federal arms. The Federal arms have not triumphed in any important engagement, except when opposed in overwhelming force to a weak resistance on the part of the enemy. And, although the disaster at Bull Run cannot be re garded as a victory on the part of the rebels, it added greatly to their confidence, and therefore to their Strength; while it terribly rebuked our own overwe'en ing confidence in ourselves, and proved to us how little enthusiasm and patriotic determination will avail, with out military discipline, without wise conduct, pru dence, and self-control. An army of brave men, for such unquestionably they were, - by mere conceit of approaching danger, not real, imminent peril, overtaken with a panic which dissolves all bonds of military orga nization, almost of human fellowship, and converts a body of warriors into a herd of frightened deer, flying at the top of their speed when none pursued, never halt ing to ascertain whether any just cause existed for their alarm, utterly bereft of counsel and reason, and given over to a passion of insane terror, this, after all the noisy demonstrations, the congratulations and harangues, the receptions and parades, which solemnized the setting forth of these hosts, though not an uncommon occur rence in war, and though no worse than a hundred panics recorded in history, is still a Shame and a tragedy, which sadly illustrates the difference there is between promise and performance, between girding on and put ting Off.
