Excerpt from A Reign of Terror: A Sermon Preached in Union Street Church, Bangor, on Sunday Evening, June 1, 1856I suppose that never, in the memory of any of us, has so much news been crowded in so short a time, of a sort to fill us with anxiety and alarm. The evils which statesmen have long foreboded, which the enemies of our Republic have pre dicted all along, which moralists have sought to avert by timely reform, and politicians by untimely compromise, seem just ready to burst upon us. Before our minds are darkened by the fears and passions of the strife that seems impending, let us give ear to the solemn warning of the time, and for one hour look the circumstances of our position in the face.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
