Book Two
THE HAND OF GOD IN AMERICAN HISTORY
By: John F. Bigelow
1861
If we look into the History of Nations, we shall find that not a
few of them supposed themselves to be the special favorites of
Divine Providence. If we inquire also into the state of national
feeling, as it now exists in different countries, we shall find, in
numbers of them, no lack of present evidences of the same
assumption. . . . Does the story of other nations tell of
remarkable events, of hairbreadth escapes, of wonderful
deliverances, of daring exploits and grand achievements? The annals
of the Israelites relate those, the equal of which veritable
history nowhere else records, and which the most romantic legend
has hardly surpassed. In the case of the American people, as in
that of the Jews, we believe that it is no dictate of national
vanity, when we claim that God has given us a history unique and
peculiar: when we claim that "He hath not so dealt with any
nation." Accordingly the subject, on which I propose to address you
at this time is, the Hand of God in American History.
I. In the first place, let me point you to some of the
manifestations and developments of peculiar Providential agency in
our historical career.

GOD'S HAND IN AMERICA
By the Rev. George B. Cheever
1841
1. That God is governor among the nations.
2. That he deals with nations on the same principles as with
Individuals.
3. That the responsibilities and duties of nations as individuals,
are commensurate with their capabilities, opportunities, and
mercies.
4. That the disregard and violation of this principle will be
followed with the divine retribution, and if persisted in, must
result in national degradation and ruin.
5. That in the light of these principles an enumeration of the
elements of national gratitude, is an exceedingly solemn and
admonitory service.
These propositions may occupy two or three of the following
chapters, and afterwards the main subject to which they are
introductory will be discussed, viz: The opportunities and
responsibilities of this country for its own and the world's
evangelization. Here opens that most striking aspect of providence
and duty, to which I have referred in the general title of this
volume; a title which may be pardoned for its apparent singularity
and quaintness, in consideration of its condensed expression of a
most comprehensive and important theme.
