Excerpt from Sermons of Bishop Pierce and Rev. B. M. Palmer, D. D: Delivered Before the General Assembly at Milledgeville, Ga, , On Fast Day, March 27, 1863To avoid controversy - to forestall objection, I would be content if the framers of our constitution in their appeal to God, would designate the Almighty as father, son and holy ghosi', because these names imply all that is distinco tive and peculiar in the christian scheme. This demand is neither extravagant nor sectarian, and even though it might be regarded by some as a concession to the church yet it is as little as a christian people could consistently ask or a professedly christian government expect to grant. The promises ofgod to the church are sublime. She is advan cing to her glorious destiny. To her' friends Heaven pledges all that is valuable in time or desirable in eternity. As a patriot and a christian, I desire for myself, my children and my countrymen, the sheltering aegis of Almighty God -the benediction of His only begotten Son - the sanctify ing ministry of the Eternal Spirit.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
