Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Late President of the United States, Fallen in the Defence of His Country: Sermon, by Rev. Samuel Gorman, Delivered April 16, 1865 O how much is included in this short expression! And as I look upon that significant motto which overhangs this sacred place; as I look around upon the draped walls of this sanctuary, and behold these unmistakable tokens of the deep, unutterable emotions of grief which fill the heart of every truly patriotic citizen of our country this morning; and as I think of the cause of such universal sorrow, I feel that I am very unable to deliver a discourse which will do justice to such an extraordinary event. The Nation mourns! Yes, from the Lakes to the Gulf, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, every loyal bosom swells and heaves with sorrow. And well we may sorrow. This is no childish grief. It is a rational, a manly grief. Let us give vent to it in every suitable way. The cause demands it. Don´t suppress it. It would be wicked not to grieve for such a cause. I pity the heart that is so hard, or so indifferent, or so perverse, as not to feel emotions of deep grief over the sad event that makes our nation mourn to-day. Yes, more: I despise such a heart. For such evident perverseness of soul can but be despised; while we can but admire the tender flow of grief, such as Jesus showed when He wept over the doomed Jerusalem; at the grave of Lazarus; at the bier of the widows oily son; and over the ruined condition of a lost world. Such expressions of such grief are magnanimous. And if they exalt the Saviour and Redeemer of mankind in our estimation, surely they ennoble the good and great among men. We have selected, as a suitable passage of Scripture for the present occasion, these words: "A great man is fallen." - (2 Sam. iii. 38.) These are the words of King David respecting the assassinated Abner. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
