Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address Delivered on the Sabbath Following the Assassination of President Lincoln: In the Second Congregational Church, Greenwich, Conn To-day the wicked triumph and the good are brought low. Two days ago and the Republic stood erect, strong and reliant, her foot advanced and countenance radiant with hope. To-day she lies prostrate upon the ground, her features stained with the traces of recent grief, and her voice lifted in lamentation. "The beauty of Israel is slain upon the high places: How are the mighty fallen!" President Lincoln is dead. The Chief Magistrate of the nation is departed. A good man has left us, and the hearts of the people are sad. The nation grieves to-day as it has not grieved since the first President died. Nay, with a grief more poignant yet, for Washington lived till he could serve his country in public no longer; but Lincoln is removed at a time when it seems impossible to spare him. It is well, my friends, that ye have draped your place of worship; for by so doing, ye sympathize with the public grief, and deprecate the judgments of God. Let these solemn emblems testify to all, that you obey the Apostolic injunction, to "weep with those that weep." Let the symbol of our nation´s glory, as you behold it, crossed with mournful black, express, beyond the powers of speech, our sense of that nation´s loss.
