Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sermon Preached in the Parish Meeting House, Groveland, June 25, 1865: On the Return of the Soldiers From the War
When, therefore, life is likened on the sacred page to a warfare, and the in?uences which bear with malignant force against its successes and triumphs are made to assume the character of determined and defiant foes, such as are often met in the stern strife of the battle, we have now learned, if we have never learned before, how much fitness and beauty there are in these hard, rough pictures of human life. There are long marches to be made; obstinate battles to be fought; innumerable exposures to be suffered; nightly and daily watches to be kept; rough usage often to be Quietly submitted to. All these enter into a soldier's life. They are each parts of his hard discipline. They all have to do with making him efficient, valiant, manly and true. Such is life. It has its long and weary marches; its hard fought battles; its exposures and watches; its heavy discipline from friends and foes.
