Excerpt from Glorifying God in the Fires: A Discourse Delivered in the Second Presbyterian Church, Albany, November 28, 1861, the Day of the Annual Thanksgiving, in the State of New York To glorify God is to use our faculties in obedience to his will, and in honour of his perfections. To glorify God in the fires is to cherish the right dispositions, and perform the fitting actions, in the time of trouble. We glorify Him when we bow quietly, patiently, trustingly, before his righteous hand. We glorify Him when our spirits grow familiar with Heaven, as we take fresh lessons in the furnace.
