Hobbes, who professed not to believe in God, had such an abiding conviction of the devil that he did not dare to go to sleep without a candle burning by his bedside. Voltaire, who mocked at the faiths and superstitions of all mankind, was thrown into terror on hearing the cries of rooks on his left, when in the country. Rousseau and other eminent unbelievers had as great and even greater capacity of believing things the most irrational and absurd. It is only men of this stamp and their feeble imitators who derides the sublime faith of the Christian, and profess themselves unable to discover any Creator or Governor of mankind but Chance. But however much as a Christian nation we may approve the public recognition of God's providence, as recommended in various admirable proclamations of the President, we can an

Nineveh (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 1
y subordinate officials in civil and military life to selfish and personal ends; what criminal want of foresight, system, and attention to detail has neutralized the genius of our commanders and the valor of our troops; how the precious fruits of the earth, at a time when our very existence depends on economy and good management, have been recklessly exposed to storm and plunder; how famished and wounded soldiers have been neglected and tyrannized over by heartless surgeons and brutal attendants; these, and a thousand like offences, call upon the clergy to do their duty manfully on the approaching fast, and, without fear, favor, or affection, scourge the offenders. If the priests of the Most High will speak as men having authority, if the people will truly repent and turn from their sins, the history of Nineveh is a proof that, even if God had decreed our destruction, he can revoke the sentence, and will once more give victory to our arms, and in the end deliverance to our country.
