Book Description
Excerpt from A Sermon Preached in the First Baptist Meeting-House: Providence, Sunday Morning, June 9, 1861, Before the Second Regiment of Rhode Island Volunteers Blessed indeed is the army which carries with it the benediction of religion, and sets up its banners in the name of God. It goes as his servant, and he goes as its van and rearward. Such was the grand vision of the prophet, of the marriage, in the history of his nation, Of the martial and the sacerdotal, the priest and the soldier; of a march and a procession; of an army and a church a sacramental host, bearing the vessels of the Lord, whether Levites serving at the altar, 'or sol diers serving in the c& of Jehovah in the midst of Israel, alike when they fought and when they wor shipped. For it is not one God who is in the sanctuary, and anoth er who is ih the camp, but the same God, leader and fol lower of the Hebrews, who goes before and behind our hosts to the battle. He consents, nay, demands, to be served sometimes by the soldier as well as the priest. He strikes the hour when a nation must fight or die.
