Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Substance of Two Discourses, Occasioned by the National Bereavement, the Assassination of the President, the Position, the Lesson, and the Duty of the Nation: Delivered in the St. James Episcopal Church, Wooster, Ohio, Easter Day, 1865
Oh! The depth of the apostacy! To see millions of ingrate sons of a continent first consecrated to the sign of the son of man, twice won from monarchy to freedom, now for the third time in the arena of mor tal strife in which the life of the Divine Goddess of Liberty is the stake, and that Divinity set as the target by fathers, sons and brothers to her manor born It is a spectacle at which the whole world stands up upon the tip-toe of astonishment, a contest at which the good on earth and the blest in heaven lift up their heads, because by it the re demption of humanity draweth nigh. In an uprismg so defiant to God and man, and in the collision of principles so antagonistic, the tation must be of corresponding extent.
