Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial of Oscar Lovell Shafter: Being Words Spoken at His Burial by Rev. Dr. Stebbins Late Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of California, died in Florence, Italy, January 23d, 1873. The funeral took place at the First Congregational Church, Oakland, Cal., Sunday afternoon, March 24th, 1873.. The rear dais and the organ loft were beautifully decked with wreaths and festoons of green leaves, immortelles, camelias and white roses. Wreaths were laid on the cover of the casket, and at the head was a large cross, composed of camelias and evergreens. The pall-bearers were S. W. Sanderson, John Cur-rey, A. L. Rhodes, Samuel Merritt, John W. Dwindle, William T. Wallace, Joseph P. Hoge, J. D. Thornton, Edmond L. Goold, J. B. Crockett and Henry Durant. The services were conducted by Rev. L. Hamilton, of the Independent Presbyterian Church; Rev. H. J. McLean, of the First Congregational, assisting. The following remarks were made by the Rev. Dr. Siebbins: Events in the life of the individual man tend to conclusion while society moves on in perpetual process or endless chain. This journey over sea and land, taken up in fear and hope, attended by hovering anxieties of home and filial love, pursued and borne with womanly devotion wherever the Divine signals - in cloud by day and fire by night - directed the faithful footsteps, is ended. So the mariner, storm-tossed and weary, engulfed in many perils in many seas, emerges at length into calm and gentle days, happy winds woo his sails, he spies the eternal headlands that have quieted so many eyes, the good ship rides into port, "he casts the patient anchor, and furls the straightened sail in the haven of his heart." Whether we consider life as a journey upon the land, with many devious delayings and disappointing passages, or as a stormy voyage upon the sea, there be many that are glad when they arrive at home. Religion surely makes no error when she adopts our deepest human satisfactions, carrying them forward to the future, making that a home. It was no error, but a firm insight and delicate imagination, that said, "l am a stranger on the earth." It is a truly human experience.
