Two Discourses on Thanksgiving and Providence

Explore the 1760 public sermons that mark a day of thanks for military success and the reduction of Canada. These pages pair faith, history, and reflection on how divine providence touches worldly events, offering a window into colonial religious life and its view of victory and duty.


Through careful meditation on scripture and current events, the book considers God’s hand in military outcomes, the responsibilities of gratitude, and the broader aim of promoting Christ’s kingdom in the world. It invites readers to consider how praise and humility can accompany triumphs on and off the battlefield.



  • Rethinks victory as part of a larger divine plan and moral responsibility.

  • Connects ancient biblical themes to 18th-century events and leadership.

  • Shares reflections on providence, prayer, and public worship.

  • Explores how gratitude can shape faith and civic duty alike.


Ideal for readers of early American religious history, pulpit rhetoric, and period reflections on war, faith, and national identity.
