Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Historical Discourse, Commemorative of the Presbyterian Church: Of Upper Ten-Mile, Pa;; Delivered March 29, 1859
All this expenditure of divine wisdom and power is for the welfare, increase and perfection of the church. The whole administration of providence has no other end than this. The revolution of empires, the rise and fall of states, the change of dynasties, the succession of governments, and all the vast flow of human affairs, symbolized by the mystic wheels of Ezekiel's vision, are directed, in the midst of seeming confusion, by infi nite wisdom and goodness, with a view to the growth, prosper ity, and ultimate universal prevalence of the kingdom of Christ. This view of the nature and scope of God's providential gov ernment, as it is clearly in harmony with the teachings of Holy Scripture, so does it invest the history of our race with a dignity and a sacredness, which no other View of it could impart.
