Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Problem of Prayer and the Death of President Garfield The efficacy of prayer has been made a prominent subject of thought during the past Summer. The assault upon President Garfield opened up a new and strong chapter in the experience of the church, the nation and the civilized and Christian world. So far as I know, I am the only minister who saw and spoke with him after he was shot. Several versions of it have been published, but they were made up of bits of rumor, according to the fancy of their authors. I have nothing to do with them. On the day of the funeral of the President I was in Catskill, N. Y. At a Union Memorial Service held in the Presbyterian Church of that place, I was requested to address the audience, and there for the first time made a written statement of the occurence, which statement, as preliminary to our present topic I now give to you. I was not sent for by any one to visit the President on the morning of the deed, but being in the vicinity of the Depot and hearing the rumor I ran to the place under a common impulse with the rest. Being known to the guards already stationed to keep back the crowd I was permitted to ascend to the room where he was, and where all was trepidation and confusion, it being not yet an hour since the assault. I had known him more or less intimately, as we know all our public men residing at the Capitol, though I was not personally acquainted with the other members of his family.
