Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Discourse on the Death of President Lincoln: Delivered in St. Mark´s Methodist Episcopal Church, and Repeated (by Request) At the Lafayette St. Presbyterian Church, Buffalo, April 23, 1865 As a church and congregation we dedicate this morning´s services to a commemoration of the Life and Death of Abraham Lincoln, late President of this Republic, who, on the 15th day of this present month, finished a glorious career on earth to enter, as we trust, upon a still more glorious one in heaven. When bereaved affection has so far recovered from the stupifying shock occasioned by the death of its beloved object, as to find vent in tears and words, it naturally gives expression to itself in strains of solemn eulogy. The memory of the dear departed becomes sacred in the estimation of surviving friends; the whole past life of the deceased becomes elevated, purified and ennobled, and no language seems appropriate which is not employed in depicting his virtues. That "nothing but good should be spoken of the dead," is a maxim derived from and sanctioned by the tenderest and holiest instincts of the human heart. And were this not prompted by the feelings we have been wont to cherish towards the subject of this funeral discourse, we would yet be practically compelled to adopt and act upon it in what we have to say of his character and career.
