(Excerpt from Expository Lectures on the Heidelberg Catech...)
Excerpt from Expository Lectures on the Heidelberg Catechism, Vol. 2 of 2 He hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness, by that man whom he hath ordained. - Acts xvii. 31. The works of nature demonstrate the truth of the revelation, that "God created the heavens and the earth." No power less than infinite, no skill less than all-wise, could produce from nothing, or maintain in its order, so vast, so varied, so harmonious a system. But when we search in the events of human life for evidences of God's moral government, the discovery is partial and even doubtful. Virtue is praised. There are systems and teachers of ethics. Religion is a sacred name. There is no land without temples, no nation without worshippers. Yet there are few who are notable for virtue, none who are perfect. Religion fails to preserve the sanctity of truth, purity, and love. We cannot mistake the fact that men are governed by men more than by God. Their supposed interests, or at the best their natural affections, ramifying self, through family, friends, and humanity, decide for the most part the right and the wrong of every action. What confusion is the result? The rich trample on the poor The poor conspire against the rich. The just man is persecuted because he is just. The vile, when successful, are flattered in their success. The calumniator stands erect upon the ashes of his victim.

(Uc are presented with the best literary monument of its i...)
Uc are presented with the best literary monument of its illustrious author. The subjects are the highest within the range of theological science ;and Dr. Bethune brought to their discussion the ripeness of his intellectual powers, a classic beauty of style, and the riches of a library well stored in this particular department. In view of this exposition, he had collected the principal commentators on the Heidelberg Catechism. As the lectures were prepared for popular audiences, they are free from the stiffness of theological formulas, and will prove interesting to all classes of readers. While this Catechism has been so widely received, and has become the standard of faith in two large churches of our country, while it has engaged the attention of so many commentators in Europe, it seems singular that this should be the first American attempt at a popular exposition designed for the press. It is a misfortune to the church that the work remains incomplete. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

As one arranges in a simple vase, A little store of unpretending flowers, So gathered I some records of past hours, And trust them, gentle reader, to thy grace; Nor hope that in my pages thou wilt trace The brilliant proof of high poetic powers ;B ut dear memorials of my happy days, When Heaven shed blessings on my heart, like showers Clothing with beauty ev nthe desert place; Till I, with thankful gladness in my looks, Turned me to God, sweet nature, loving friends, Christ slittle children, well-worn ancient books, The charm of art, the rapture music sends: And sang away the grief that on mans lot attends.

Of Huguenot descent, his father was Divie Bethune, a highly successful merchant in New New York
Originally a student at Columbia College of Columbia University, Bethune graduated in 1822 from Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania and went on to study theology at Princeton University.
In 1827, he was appointed Pastor of the Reformed Dutch Church, Rhinebeck, New New York In 1830, he moved to Utica, New New York In 1834 to Philadelphia.
And in 1850 to Brooklyn Heights, New New York He was offered the chaplaincy of the United States. Military Academy, the Chancellorship of New York University and the Provostship of University of Pennsylvania, all of which he declined.
He was an outspoken Democrat in politics, opposed to slavery but unsympathetic to abolitionism. Due to his Calvinist ideas about the unsuitability of such a hobby for a clergyman, Bethune, an avid fisherman, worked anonymously on five of the United States editions of Izaak Walton"s The Compleat Angler under the pseudonym The American Editor.
He also wrote many hymns, some of which are still used today. One popular hymn he wrote is "There is no Name so Sweet on Earth." The hymn "When Time Seems Short and Death is Near" was found in his portfolio and was written on April 27, 1862, the day before his death.
While visiting Florence, Italy for his health, he fell ill after preaching and died of a stroke on April 27, 1862.
His Life and Letters were edited by A. R. Van Nest, 1867.
