Excerpt from God Timing All National Changes in the Interests of His Christ: A Discourse Before the American Baptist Home Mission Society, at Its Annual Meeting in the City of Providence, R. I., On Thursday Evening, May 29th, 1862 God has notched in the calendar of centuries, as He guards and holds that dread register, the eras of na tional ease, and concord and growth, and the days, also, of weakness, discord, defeat, and bondage. J eremiah of Anathoth is but announcing, in frankest loyalty, the oracle which the King of Eternity has entrusted to him. It was not the first time that such a decree had been intimated. A similar message had long since been sent, by the same Almighty Ruler, to all earth's poten tates. In the Second Psalm, more than four centuries before J eremiah's time, had David cried Degrees Be wise now, therefore, O ye kings be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way when His wrath is kindled but a little.
