520 _a"Hear Ye the Rod, and Who Hath Appointed It" by James Galloway Cowan is a sermon written in the mid-19th century, specifically around 1857. This religious text addresses moral governance and divine judgment, reflecting on the responsibilities of nations and individuals before God. Cowan emphasizes the necessity of acknowledging divine accountability amidst societal distress, particularly in light of contemporary events such as the Indian Rebellion. In this sermon, Cowan draws upon scripture, particularly the prophetic warnings of national calamities, to highlight the need for repentance and spiritual awakening. He argues that the afflictions experienced by nations are signs of divine displeasure due to moral failures and sins that have been tolerated. The discourse critiques Britain's role in India, emphasizing the lack of spiritual responsibility among its rulers towards the native population. Ultimately, Cowan calls for national humility and prayer, urging individuals to seek God's mercy, and suggesting that true restoration can only occur through acknowledging past neglect and committing to amend their ways.
