Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Nation´s Mourning: A Sermon, Preached Before the Congregational Church and Society in Green´s Farms, on the Day of the National Fast, Occasioned by the Death of Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, June 1st, 1865 "And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah." - II Chron; xxxv. 24. In every great bereavement, whether individual or national, the benefit to be derived results not from the first ebulition of painful and sorrowful feeling, but from the subduing influence of after reflection. In the first moments of grief our minds are filled with a tumult of emotions which renders us for the time incapable of fully comprehending the meaning of the event - of measuring the interests affected by it, or of learning, the lessons which it teaches. It is only when time and nature have come to the aid of reason, and given calmness to our minds, that we are able to indulge in such meditations as shall suitably impress the heart and influence the life. It is eminently appropriate, therefore, that such a day as this should have been set apart in view of that event which has filled the nations heart with sorrow; and it is well that it should have been deferred to this distance of time. The first bewilderment of the sudden and stunning blow - the tumult of excited and conflicting emotions which struggled in the national mind - the roll of muffled drums - the tolling of bells - the solemn tramp of civic and military processions, with all the pomp and pageantry of a nations woe, have passed away.
