A Discourse Delivered On The Fast Day: Recommended By The President by John Mason Duncan presents a 1841 sermon delivered on a national fast in Baltimore. Duncan, a pastor of the Associate Reformed Congregation of Baltimore, argues that political life should be governed by divine covenant rather than sectarian or party interests. The discourse urges repentance for national sins, calls for reconciliation and the abolition of schismatic passions, and emphasizes the need for charity as a central political principle. He critiques the influence of money, speculation, and immorality on public life, condemns the misapplication of religious authority for factional purposes, and asserts that revelation and mediation through Christ should shape public policy. The work blends biblical history with political theology, urging leaders and citizens to return to universal, parental ideals in government, to honor the memory of revered leaders, and to seek guidance from the Lord in shaping a virtuous republic.
