(No. 11349 )  Chew, John H. GOD'S JUDGMENTS TEACHING RIGHTEOUSNESS. A SERMON

PARISH, PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD..
Washington: E. A. Waters, 1861. Wrappers, Octavo, 13 pages. Near Fine.
      President James Buchanan declared January 4, 1861 a national day of 
fasting and prayer in an effort to calm both sides in the brewing secession 
crisis. This was the earnest sermon preached by Reverend Chew to his flock 
in Prince George's County, Maryland on that day. He here argues "that it was 
God who gave to our forefathers the wisdom to construct this 
government
[and] that though it may occasionally need repairs, those repairs 
should be made calmly, dispassionately, with circumspection and with 
caution; and that it is entirely too sacred a fabric to lightly and 
needlessly destroyed. Certain it is that if it is once destroyed, its place 
will never again be supplied." Bound in printed paper covers over a 
saddle-stitched binding. Covers have a few chips along spine and edges, top 
fore corner of rear cover is chipped away....... $100.00
