Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Rector's Reply to Sundry Requests and Demands for a Political Sermon: Preached in Christ Church, Fifth Avenue, N. Y
IN view of the recent events at Mobile and Atlanta, the Government of the United States, under the promptings of an humbled and God-recognizing heart, has called upon us to assemble this day in our several houses of worship, and pour forth thanksgivings to the Throne of Heaven for the successes with which the Only Giver of Victory hath crowned our ?eets and arms. In the spirit of the Catholic Church, whenever she is thus called upon by the Powers that be, we have obeyed the proclamation, have met and uttered our thanksgivings to God. That solemn act of worship over, the preacher speaks for a brief while God's word to the people.
