An Historical Dicourse Delivered At Brookfield Mass Nov 271828 PDF Download

Excerpt from An Historical Discourse, Delivered at Brookfield, Mass;, Nov; 27, 1828: The Day of the Annual Thanksgiving One generation shall praise thy works to another and shall declare thy mighty acts. TO perpetuate a knowledge of the dealings of God with us is equally the dictate of patriotism and religion. N 0 one, who loves his country, can meditate on the favours, which have been poured upon her, without desiring, that they may be ao curately told to future generations. N 0 one, who loves the Lord, can think on his kind care and ever watchful protection Without feeling, that his inter positions should be held in grateful and everlasting remembrance. Under the combined influence of these feelings a venerable monarch of Israel said, Give ear, 0 my people, to my law, incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will utter dark sayings of old, which we have heard and known and our fathers have told us, we will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the Lord and his strength and his wonderful works, that he hath done that the generation to come might know them, even the children, that should be born, who should arise and declare them to their children, that they might set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments.
