Excerpt from The Meaning of Our National Bereavement: A Sermon on the Death of President McKinley Delivered in the Church of the Epiphany, Washington, D. C., On Sunday, September 15, 1901Well then let us recognize in this af¿icting event the hand of the Divine Providence, and let us ask, here in the Sanctuary of God - here with bowedheads and hushed hearts in the Divine Presence what is the meaning of so terrible an occurrence? What is the lesson which God is teaching us by this strange dispensation?Seeking an answer to this question, the first thought that demands expression is that this event, like all others, has not happened without God. Human malice and wickedness has its liberty of action. It lays its plot, and strikes its cruel blow in the exercise of that freedom which is given to men. But it cannot go beyond the limit of its tether. In inscrutable wisdom the Almighty sets bounds to the free action of His creatures.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
