Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our National Trials a Cause for Thankfulness: A Sermon Preached in the Second Presbyterian Church, Cleveland, November 28th, 1861, a Day of Thanksgiving and Praise Job, v: 17, 20. - Behold, happy is the man whom god correcteth: there fore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty. In famine He shall redeem thee from death; and in war from the power of the sword. The word of God, in many places, teaches that the discipline of rebuke and chastisement is evidence of the divine favor. The man whom the Almighty chasteneth is happy, because suffering is not designed to work his ruin, but his profit. And when the end sought has been gained, the same hand that maketh sore, bindeth up. He who has sent six troubles, yea, seven, delivers from them who has sent famine and war, redeems from death and from the power of the sword.
