Riddle, David Hunter. Our Country for the Sake of the World. A Sermon in behalf of the American Home Missionary Society, preached in the Cities of New York and Brooklyn, May, 1851. New York: Printed for the American Home Missionary Society, by Baker, Goodwin & Co., 1851. 31 p.

Notes

Riddle’s evangelical sermon opens with the devout love of "God’s ancient people" (p. [3]) for the land of Israel with the people enjoying the abundance of a fertile land blessed by God. The providential blessings bestowed by God upon America, however, are conditional only as long as American Christians "make the world’s salvation their paramount concern" (p. 17).
