Excerpt from Thanksgiving: A Sermon Preached in the Arch Street Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, on Thursday, November 28, 1861

The simple and obvious meaning of the text is, that we have always something to be thankful for; that gratitude is due to God in every earthly con dition in which a living man can be placed. And this is a truth appropriate to this occasion, for we are observing our great national festival in circum stances wherein some men judge that the keeping a fast in sackcloth were a more seemly service. It cannot be denied that we are to-day a deeply dis tressed people, and that our attempted offerings of thanksgiving will ascend largely from desolate house holds and sorrowing hearts.
