Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address Delivered in Christ Church, Hartford: At the Funeral of the Rt. Rev. Thomas Church Brownell, D.D., LL. D., Third Bishop of Connecticut, January 17th, 1845 In the vast stream of existence that flows on perpetually into the world beyond our sight, a single mortal is but as a ripple, or even a drop, upon the surface. But never can we think, as we witness the solemn ceremonial of the grave, that a life, even the briefest, the lowliest, or the most unhappy, has mingled itself with eternity, and not feel that the pomps and glories of this world are fading from our inward sight, and that God is near. Were this but the burial of the babe born week since, or of the nameless stranger washed by shipwreck upon our shores, all would still stand before the coffin with the same sentiment which has just uttered itself: "Let me know my end;" "Teach us to number our days"! But here, in the house of the Lord, for the last time, the form of a Christian full of years is present, and the venerated countenance lies covered which we shall see no more till we see, indeed, face to face.
