Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Put Up Thy Sword: A Discourse Delivered Before Theodore Parker´s Society, at the Music Hall, Boston, Sunday, March 11, 1860 My friends, I do not believe there ever has been an occasion, since the world began, when the sword might have been used with greater honor and advantage than that upon which it was thus commanded to be sheathed. If there ever were a person, whose life it was worth attempting to preserve, even at the cost of any number of common lives, it was he, who, when a band of ruffians, with a traitor at their head, had come to seize him, thus bade the friend who drew a sword in his defence, to put it back again into its sheath. So great was his wisdom, so life-giving his presence among men, that it would seem that no means should have been suffered to go unused, of saving mankind from so heavy a loss. He was, too, but in the blossom of his greatness. When, but a youth as he was, he had uttered so many inspired sayings, and, in his personal bearing, given assurance of such a man as all history cannot parallel, what communications of truth, what a powerful influence for good, might not have been looked for from him, had his life only been prolonged, had that extraordinary nature only reached its full maturity! A life so precious to the world, not one sword, but a thousand swords should have flashed from their scabbards to protect.
