Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Memorial of Charles Sumner: A Discourse Delivered at the Parker Memorial Meeting-House, to the Twenty-Eighth Congregational Society, of Boston, on Sunday, March 15, 1874 We are gathered within the shadow of a great national bereavement; - shall I not say the greatest that the generations of Americans now on the fields of active duty have known or can know? Not less than this the tribute I am impelled to render him for whom we mourn, when I recollect what he has done for us during thirty years of the most critical struggle through which a nation can pass; and when I think of his function of standing in the confidence of good men, as their guarantor of an unimpeachable integrity and vigilance in the front of all our public perils; his name a watchword of their faith in political virtue, in the rights and duties of the citizen, in the destiny of the state. This is the service a republic can least afford to lose; of this we can never have enough; and so rare and so grand is it, the slow fruit of such tried fidelity and such martyr virtues, that we almost forget, in our utter inability to replace it, the right it has to be gathered up, when its physical forces have been spent for our good, into the life of spiritual benediction wherein a nation´s gratitude must enshrine the virtue that never could deceive its trust. "Shall not all good things await Him who cared not to be great But as he served or saved the state?" How rounded and finished, like one of his own regal arguments for human rights, was this long and stately career!
