Présentation de l'éditeur
Psalm xxxiii. 12. Blessed is the nation whose God (E lohim Magistrate) is Jehovah; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. We have been called into the sanctuary to-day not by any specific ordinance of the Most High; not by the summons of an ecclesiastical sect; nor even by the authoritative requisition of our city or state corporations but because a deep working sympathy is pervading all parties of this great community, and compelling them to respond to each other in tones of grief. The nation assembles to mourn a departed Chief. Circumstances, strongly marked, and distressing to all, have occurred, revolving around a death-bed scene in the nations mansion throwing the public mind back on a fearfully tumultuous scene, and forward in appalling augury of future events and, at the call of him whom Providence has now placed in the chair of state, we have come to weep before the righteous and omniscient God. This seems to be required on the presumption that we have done, and may still be doing, much which is wrong in his sight. The voice of conscience speaks; and, tracing our affliction back to sin we have committed, compels to humble meditation, andpropose no relief but in earnest prayer. Our chief magistrate feels it to be right we should thus appear in the courts of the Lord; and the millions of our land approve and consent.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
