| Abstract | Sermon notes by Edward Hitchcock for a sermon delivered at Amherst College on August 9, 1838 and again in October 1841, discussing natural and spiritual droughts. Hitchcock lists several ways in which they are similar, and discusses at length the idea that both can be ended through fervent prayer, and that a natural drought can be ended by God without him performing a miracle. Hitchcock also contrasts natural and spiritual droughts, saying that while people generally get worked up and worried about a natural drought, they may not even be aware of a spiritual drought. Psalm 32:4 is quoted. |
