Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Means of Perpetuating Mutual Good Feeling Between Pastor and People: Sermons Preached Sabbath After Installation, July 11, 1852
The bow of promise is now hanging over our horizon, between us and which have already fallen many drops of mercy. We have occasion, then, for gratitude in View of the auspicious circumstances in which we are permitted to enter upon our new relations. And it is natural that we should look forward with mutual hope, of many happy social and religious enjoyments in days to come. But we are well aware that such pros peets are not unfrequently blasted. The providence of God is changing our circumstances; our feelings are mutable; our interests varying, and it is not um common that the brightest morning has a hazy merid ian, and a dark, tempestuous evening. The pastoral relation, like the conjugal, has its honey-moons, when the fullness and freshness of mutual love seem too strong ever to be disturbed by the con?icting interests of future life; but frail human nature yields Where it never intends. Lt purposes well, in the full tide of its affection, but, alas! It is overcome at a point where it least expected to be vanquished.
