Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Discourse Delivered at the Furman Theological Institution, Friday, May 14, 1841: The Day Appointed by the President of the United States as a Day of Fasting, Humiliation and Prayer, in Consequence of the Death of Gen. William Henry Harrison
There is nothing, with which the welfare of nations and the perpetuity of governments are so intimately connected, as the character of their public servants. Holding a conspicuous rank, and made a spectacle to men, they must exert a powerful in ?uence, either for the elevation, or depravation of their fellow citizens. Corruption in high stations relaxes the bonds of union.
