Excerpt from A Sermon: Preached in the Winthrop Church, Charlestown, June 18, 1865 The event here to be commemorated was a miracle. When the feet of the priests that bore the ark of the Lord, the vanguard of Gods advancing hosts, but touched the edge of the Jordan, its tides, rolling on in their harvest fulness, were instantaneously stayed, and piled up in one overhanging but harmless volume, while the children of Israel passed over to the other side. The memory of this interposition was, by divine direction, to be transmitted to future generations by the erection of a monument at the first resting-place beyond the river. Twelve stones, corresponding to the twelve tribes of Israel, and taken from the bed of the Jordan, where the feet of the priests had been firmly planted, were to be heaped one upon another as a memorial, and, in lieu of inscriptions, the whole Hebrew nation was to stand as an interpreter of its design to the latest posterity.
