Charles Martel; Battle of Tours. Never was this power more needed than during the latter part of the Merovingian dynasty. In the eighth century the Saracens, or followers of Mohammed, had set out with the determination of conquering all nations. They had already subdued Egypt, The Prankish Kingdom of the Merovingians The heavy eastern boundary of Brittany indicates the virtual independence of that province at this period. northern Africa, and Spain. They now planned the subjugation of France, Germany, Italy, and Constantinople, that they might unite them into one vast empire. As the Roman Empire had been ravaged by the northern barbarians, so now Europe was threatened by the Saracens. Many trembled lest every Bible should be destroyed, every church leveled, every cr trampled under foot, and lest all men should be forced to bow in adoration before the Koran and the crescent.1 But the truth was that the Mohammedans gave those whom they conquered the choice of conversion, death, or tribute. In 732 the Saracens crossed the Pyrenees and raided the country in all directions, pillaging and burning many rich towns, and carrying off thousands of captives. No power seemed able to stop their career, and multitudes gave themselves up to despair, believing the end had come, and that Mohammedanism would triumph. In this crisis a new Mayor of the Palace, Charles, an illegitimate son of Pepin of Austrasia, came to the rescue. He represented the stalwart courage and steadfast endurance that had characterized the Franks in their best days. But he lacked warriors; and as his predecessors, together with the Sluggard Kings,3 had given away a great part of the royal domain, Charles did not hesitate to seize the Church lands which were usually the finest in the country and...

Excerpt from book: SERMON IV TOTAL DEPRAVITY. John v. 42.â??" But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you." These words were addressed by the Lord Jesus Christ, on a certain occasion, to those who professed that they loved God. I design, this morning, and in the afternoon, to establish the doctrine of total depravity, In doing this, I design, in the first place to show what the doctrine of total depravity, is not. And secondly, what it is : And thirdly, to prove the doctrine, according to the definition which I shall give of it. And to conclude each discourse, with such remarks as shall appear appropriate, and necessary. First. I am to show, what the doctrine of total depravity is not. 1st. It does not consist in any want of faculties to obey God. We have all the powers of moral agency, that are needed to render perfect obedience to God. If there were any want of faculties, in our nature, our responsibility would cease; and we could not be justly blamed, for not doing that, for the performance of which, we do not possess the appropriate moral powers. 2dly. Total depravity does not consist, in a mutilated state of our moral powers. Neither our powers of body, or mind, are in a maimed, or mutilated state. If they were so, our obligation to obedience, would be diminished, precisely in proportion to the imperfection of the faculties of moral agency, which we possess. 3dly. Total depravity, does not consist, in any physical pollution transmitted from Adam, or from our ancestors, to us. It is impossible that moral depravity, should consist in physical pollution. Some persons have spoken of depravity, and of the pollutions of our nature, as if there were some moral depravity cleaving to, or incorporated with, the very substance of our being. Now this is to talk ut...

excerpt from the book...Christopher Columbus has always been a object of extreme interest andadmiration to me ever sence I first read about him in my old Olney'sGography, up to the time when I hearn he wuz a-goin' to be celebrated inChicago.I always looked up to Christopher, I always admired him, and in a modestand meetin'-house sense, I will say boldly and with no fear of Josiahbefore my eyes that I loved him.Havin' such feelin's for Christopher Columbus, as I had, and havin' suchfeelin's for New Discoverers, do you spoze I wuz a-goin' to have acelebration gin for him, and also for us as bein' discovered by him,without attendin' to it?No, indeed! I made calculations ahead from the very first minute it wuzspoke on, to attend to it.And feelin' as I did--all wrought up on the subject of ChristopherColumbus--it wuz a coincerdence singular enough to skair anybody almostto death--to think that right on the very day Christopher discoveredAmerica, and us (only 400 years later), and on the very day that Icommenced the fine shirt that Josiah wuz a-goin' to wear to Chicago tocelebrate him in--That very Friday, if you'll believe me, Christopher Columbus walkedright into our kitchen at Jonesville--and discovered me.
