Excerpt from God the Perpetual Renewer: A New-Year's Discourse, Delivered in Angelica, N. Y., Sunday, Jan. 1, 1865This morning's sun rose not only on anew day, but on a New Year. The announcement sends a thrill of pleasure along our nerves and already, round half the globe, men have exchanged kind wishes and congratulations on the event.But why What white stone marks this day, above the days that preceded it? No change has passed upon the face of nature. The course of Providence maintains its ac customed tranquil ¿ow. Winter still rests on the hills. His icy breath is in the air to-day as yesterday, his iron grasp still holds the streams and soil. There is no less of sorrow in the dwellings of men, no less of sin, nor of the wretchedness that treads upon the heels of sin. Whence then these jubilant expressions? Whence these songs of universal gladness and praise - as if this day, above other days, had brought with it from Heaven. To earth some new and mighty blessing?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
