To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Think of our feelings the past two weeks till yesterday. There were no bounds to our joy — we could not express it ! And how that joy brought the nation in gratitude to God ; the nar tion never so acknowledged him in any joy. Every speech that was made did it ; men did it one with another ; men who seldom spoke his name felt then they must speak of him ; where men gathered in the business mart, and on the exchange, doxologies must be sung, and prayer and the devout offering of thanksgiving be m...ade. I am so glad God was thus acknowledged ; not indeed as he ought to have been, but yet as he never was before, it gives us such ground for trusting that this terrible thing is some^ thing other than a divine rebuke. And now our sorrow is as great as was then our joy. The very greatness of these extremes in the permissions of God's providence, are a proof that he is as signally with us. It is not in wrath, it is not in divine deser- tion that we are experiencing this. The magnitude of the previous mercy shows this.
