Excerpt from Memorial Volume of the One Hundredth Anniversary Celebration of the Dedication of the Church of the Holy Cross, Boston The great events in the historic progress of the Kingdom of God have ever been duly shown forth by anniversary festivals of prayer and speech and song, so that all generations may know of the deeds done by ancestors and of the blessings given by God. The Prophet Moses, under Divine guidance, instituted anniversary days, King David created, under inspiration, the Songs of the Psalter, and King Solomon dedicated the great Temple of Jerusalem, all to keep alive and forever the great favors bestowed by God upon the chosen people of Israel, as exiles in Egypt, or wanderers at Mt. Sinai or conquering hosts in the Promised Land. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
