Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from God, the Help of the Nation: A Sermon Delivered in Trinity Church, Pittsburgh, on the Day of National Thanksgiving, Appointed by the Present of the United States, November 26, 1863
In April last, on the recommendation of the Chief Magistrate of the Republic, we humbled our selves as a nation, under the chastisement of the Lord our God, whose displeasure we had justly incurred by our manifold national sins who had smitten us with the rod of His wrath, and had visited us with sudden and sore calamity. W'e besought Him Who had cast us off and scattered us - who had been displeased - who had made our portion of thei'earth to tremble - who had broken it so that it was shaken - who had showed us hard things, and made us to drink the wine of astonish ment; we besought Him, in humiliation, fasting and prayer, to turn himself to us again, and heal the breaches of the land He had made, save and deliver us.
