Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sermon on the Death of Lieut. Sylvester Rogers: Son of Freeman S. Rogers, of Nashua, Who Was Killed in the Battle of August 29th, 1862, Near Bull Run "I have fought a good fight." - II. Tim. IV:VII. St. Paul used these words in a figure. I take them on the present occasion in a literal sense - as language befitting to put into the mouth of one fallen upon the battle-field and in the service of his country. In their widest sense they may be taken as the motto, nay, the solemn, closing hymn of sacrifice and victory for every life, conspicuous or humble, which is given and spent in a sacred sense of duty in the place of the Divine appointment. It may be spent as grandly as Paul´s was; in perils by land and sea; in prisons and chains; in scourgings and stonings, - it may be sacrified upon the altar of patriotism upon the field of conflict; or it may be peacefully spent in homely toils and duties, unnoticed and lost in the great whirl of life and the confused currents that bear us all onward to that great breathless, waiting mystery of eternity before us; it is alike sacred and honored before God in all spheres and stations, if only is found in it the consecrating sense of duty.
