Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The President´s Death and Its Lessons: A Discourse on Sunday Morning, April 23d, 1865, Before the Second Unitarian Society of Philadelphia Only in the spirit embodied in some such high saying as this, can we find relief for the sorrows and anxieties awakened by the sad calamity which fills our thoughts to-day. Though we may not clearly see the providential meaning of this event, yet we fall back upon our faith, in the assurance that it has a place in the wise designs of God. More than a week has already passed since the shocking intelligence first reached us, and we seem hardly yet to have realized the terrible fact. But now we have present a most solemn witness of it; for all that was mortal of our lamented President sleeps with us to-day, and our city is hallowed by the presence of the honored dead. And where could those remains rest with greater fitness than in Independence Hall, where the idea of universal liberty, to which he was so true, found its highest expression and noblest endorsement? Upon the genial face of the great Emancipator look down the pictures of the heroes and statesmen of another age. Washington and Jefferson, Franklin, Lafayette and their compatriots, imaged on the canvass, greet the form of their illustrious descendant, sculptured by God in mortal clay.
