Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of the Late Rear-Admiral John Drake Sloat of the United States Navy: Who Took Possession of California and Raised the American Flag at Monterey on July 7th, 1846 "Nor is our Brother wholly gone from us here below; since his influences survive, the thoughts he uttered still live, and the effects of his action and exertion can never cease while the universe continues to exist. He has become a part of the Great Past, which gives Law to the Present and Future, and he still lives a real life, in the thoughts, the feelings and the affections of those who knew and loved him. The arm that wielded the sword is now but dust. "I adjure you, Brethren, in the name of Faith, Hope, Loving-kindness and Immortality, not to permit your duties to the dead to cease with these sad ceremonies. I adjure you to right his causes, to do justice to his memory, to defend his reputation. And I do more especially charge you, that you do watch over and give protection and assistance to any whom he hath left unprotected or destitute, or who suffering injury, may appeal to you in his name! Thus let us all prove ourselves good Knights and true Masons. Amen!" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
