Excerpt from Personal Reminiscences of Pope Pius IX: A Tribute of Esteem and Love to the Memory of the Saintly and Glorious PontiffIn the year 1871, a song of triumph, praise and thanksgiving - a new song, such as had never been heard by men - was first chanted in the central city of Christendom. Its tones were quickly caught by ears expectant and repeated by joyous throats, and, swelling in their march, they soon resounded in one grand chorus of over two hundred millions to the very confines of earth, hushing all other sounds and filling the rest of creation with awe, surprise and admiration. We may even devoutly and reasonably imagine the angelic choirs in suspense, in wonder and complacence stooping to drink in the novel strains and then re echoing them throughout the celestial realms - And what, pray, was the burden of this new song? The goodness and mercy and providence of God for us His earthly children, as shown in an extraordinary manner in His Vicar and our Supreme Head on earth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
