Excerpt from Comfort in Tribulation: An Address Delivered in the Reformed Dutch Church, Stapleton, S. September 26th, 1861, a Day Kept as a National Fast, by Appointment of the President of the United StatesThe Chief Magistrate of the nation has summoned it to the public observance of a day of humiliation, prayer, and fasting. He has done this not merely at the bidding of his own heart and conscience, but at the request of both houses of our national Legislature, made to him in a very unusual form, through a joint committee. Never were the people more solemnly called upon to acknowledge their dependence upon the Supreme Ruler by the confession of their sins, and the supplication of his favorable interposition. With all our hearts and minds we should respond to the summons, and in the sanctuaries of Divine worship confess and deplore our sins, and accept the humiliation of our pride and self-confidence, adoring the justice and imploring the mercy of the Most High.Called, in the providence of God, to address you to-day, I am not unconscious of the responsibility thus imposed upon me, and with deference, though with no distrust of their truthfulness and importance, submit to your candor the statements and considerations which I have prepared.Should the line of thought be somewhat different from your anticipation, and present more cheerful hopes and prospects than you have been inclined to indulge, it will, I trust, embrace reasons why you should not hastily set them aside as unworthy of your acceptance.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
