Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Voice From the Ranks of the Army: Philosophy of the War of Secession, Illustrated by Historical Facts, Together Showing the Destiny of the Union
Here we would ask, can there be a more exalted dignity con ferred upon man than to be admitted as a co-operator with God and thus intimately conjoined to the great Eternal! What more potent in?uence can be brought to bear on the formation of char acter in the individual mind?
From this elevation of view, this high mountain-top which rears its lofty crest from the midst of the vast plain over which our subject extends, may be seen somewhat of the important po sitiou the element of Industry occupies, not only in the political economy of a commonwealth, but in the Divine economy through out the government of the human race. We perceive that it is made a means of conjoining the creature to the Creator, and of establishing that covenant relation symbolized in the Word by the covenant made with Abraham, whose posterity were delivered from a degrading bondage in Egypt and conducted under the Divine guidance to their promised land, to take a position among the nations of the earth.
