Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from National Sins; A Call to Repentance: A Sermon; Preached on the National Fast, August 3, 1849, in Cumberland Church, Charleston, S. C
God's; there have not been wanting those who have descended into the arena of political strife, ard bv the introduction of questions of civil polity into ecclesiastical judicatories, have fomented bitterness and wrath; and some have even been found to desert the nobler offices of the pulpit to become political agitators Well might angels weep, if weep they can, over derelictions such as these, wondering that men whom God had called to sweep through loftiest regions of Gospel verities and preach salvation and eternal life to man, could rather choose to mingle in the din and tumult of earthly things.
Well then does it become the Churches on this day to put on sackcloth and humble themselves In the dust, to make acknowledgment of their sins and implore the divine mercy.
In the State as well 'as in the Church there have been sins to call down upon us the anger of God.
