Excerpt from Discourses on the Jewish Religion, Vol. 9 Although we are not assembled this day in a house consecrated to God, still we have met for the purpose of doing honour to our Everlasting King, and to la bour in his name. It has always been the custom of Israel, on all occasions of public assembly, not to let the words of prayer be wanting; it is 3pi Lflp The voice which is the voice of Jacob, which is ever acceptable on High; in this is our strength, in this our victory; herein angels of mercy join us to do honour to the Creator; and of this, in our deepest affliction, tyrants in all their power, nations in all their tumultuous wrath, could not rob us. Let us, then, not be unmindful of this our potent weapon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
