Excerpt from The State of the a Discourse, Delivered in the First Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, June 1, 1865, on the Day Appointed as a Day of Humiliation and Mourning in View of the Death of the President of the United States
The only use which I Shall make of this text on this occasion, is as suggesting the idea that God raises up good and great men, and employs them as instruments in delivering the oppressed from bondage, and that, in doing this, he defeats the counsels and purposes of bad men. Cyrus was raised up to deliver the Hebrew peo ple from their long captivity In Babylon, as Moses had been long before to deliver the ancestors of the same people from slavery in Egypt. The applicability Of this thought to the circumstances of our country, I trust you will perceive as we advance. If the principle is correct, the hand of God should be recognized alike in the arrangements by which such men are raised up; in the work which they accomplish; in their removal, however that removal may occur; and in the lasting benefits which he has conferred, through their instrumentality, on the oppressed, on a nation, or on the world at large.
