Description:Excerpt from A Thanksgiving Sermon: Delivered at St. John's Church, Georgetown The mountains shall bring peace to the people. - psalm lxxii: 3. IT was one of the loveliest evenings in the month of June when, on a day and hour not easily forgotten, I began the ascent of Mount Vesuvius. The mountain was in a state of extreme agitation, and the ames that issued from its summit gave it the effect of a vast torch suspended in mid-air over the bay and city of Naples. During the earlier part of the ascent, what chie y struck the eye was the marvellous luxu riance with which foliage, fruits and owers were blended, or, rather, heaped together upon the mountain side. At every step the vine, the fig tree and the Olive entwined their branches above, in one triumphal arch, converting the road into an endless bower. This was due to the lava beds that lay below, and still more to the quickening heat of the fires that raged and roared within. These were the forces and these the agencies that produced that teeming and luxuriant landscape. How much that man calls destructive, both in the natural and moral world, is really, in the highest sense, creative. In the order of the divine Providence, beauty springs from ashes, and the Oil of joy from mourn ing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
