Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Of Henry Richard: The Apostle of Peace In presenting to the reader of these pages, a brief record of the public life and labours of our honoured friend Henry Richard, over a period of upwards of half-a-century, in the great cause of International Peace, as well as of political, civil, and religious freedom, to both of which he consecrated his great gifts, and for the furtherance of which he indefatigably laboured, I am deeply sensible that this "frail memorial though sincere," with its many imperfections, inadequately sets forth the great labours and eminent services of his noble life. "For poor my eloquence thy worth to tell, And small the need, - embalmed in every heart Shall live thy memory." The career and incidents of his early life and manhood are generally well-known, and though comparatively unimportant, a reference to them may possibly be of interest, for they were the preliminary discipline in training and qualifying him, under the guiding hand of an All-wise Power, to those wider spheres of public usefulness and splendid service for peace and freedom, in which he has justly won an enduring and an honourable fame. He was the son of the Rev. Ebenezer Richard, a Minister in the front rank of the Calvinistic Methodist Church, a man of great energy and zeal for the spiritual welfare of his countrymen, and whose piety and eloquence are still treasured in the hearts of the Welsh people.
