Creator	Hitchcock, Edward, 1793-1864
Title	Edward Hitchcock sermon notes, 1837 December
Dates	1837-12
Abstract	Sermon notes by Edward Hitchcock for a sermon delivered at Amherst College in December 1837 and Amherst West Parish in February 1838. The notes discuss the pain that people's sinfulness causes God. Hitchcock compares the feeling to a few different situations, including to parents whose children turn to an immoral life. Hitchcock says God's anguish is much stronger, however. He then reflects on what this means for Christians, discussing repentance, God's feelings when punishing people, and the eventual remorse of the impenitent. Hosea 11:8-9 is quoted.
