Excerpt from The Sovereignty of God, the Sure and Only Stay of the Christian Patriot in Our National Troubles: A Sermon Preached in the Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, Sept. 14, and in the West Spruce Street Church, September 28, 1862 Dear Sir - Your Sermon on the Reign of God. As connected with our present troubles, deserves a much larger publicity than can result from twice preaching. It ought to be read and considered, as well by those who love God and their country, as by those who are too apt to forget him. It would seem to be a vain hope to escape from our entangle ments, and to exhibit the uprising of a great nation, until we sincerely and humbly adopt the motto, In God is our trust. We therefore request that the manuscript may be placed at our disposal for publication. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
