Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Funeral Discourse on the Death of Abraham Lincoln When the tidings of President Lincolns assassination threw a gloom over all hearts, Chicago, the metropolis of his State, where he was first nominated for the Presidency, felt especially afflicted. The whole city was draped. The edifice of the Second Baptist Church was very solemnly and appropriately decorated. Two days after the murder, Sabbath, April 16 th a day never to be forgotten the vast audience melted into tears while the Pastor read Davids lamentation over Saul and Jonathan, 2 Sam. i.17-27 The beauty of Israel is slain iipon thy high places; hoio are the migJdy fallen. On the Wednesday following, a service was held, in accordance with suggestions fi-om Washington, at which several addresses were made by members of the congregation and others. On Sabbath morning, April 23 rd, the Pastor preached a sermon for the occasion to a crowded congregation. A hymn was sung, written by Hon.E. Bixby, which is printed with the discourse. The singing was solemn and impressive, and the whole service was one of deep interest. In the evening, previous to the doxology, Hon. C.C. P.Holden rose and offered a resolution, which was cordially received by the large assembly, that an account of the exercises be preserved in printed form as a memento, and that the Pastor furnish the Trustees with a copy of the sermon preached by him on the death of President Lincoln. The discourse is here printed precisely as preached. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
