Excerpt from God's Covenant: A Sermon, Preached on the Thirteenth Sunday After Trinity, MDCCCXLIV, in Trinity Church, Chicago, Illinois Solemn, interesting, and instructive must have been that assembling of Israel, on occasion of which the address in the text was delivered. The captains of the tribes, the elders, the officers, the little ones, the wives, the stranger that was in the camp, young men and maidens, old men and children, all ranks, ages, and callings, in one vast gathering, were presenting themselves before the Lord their God. Momentously concerning too was the object which was to engage them. What eagerness must it have imparted to. their looks, what reverent earnestness to their every step! My Brethren, what a spectacle would such a scene present in an age secularized, and well-nigh sold to this world, as is this of ours! How unreal would be deemed that impress of things eternal, borne by each captain, and elder, and officer, each father and mother, with the pledges of their love, - their little ones, - while thus they made acknowledgment of God's mercy and almightiness!
