Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sermon: Delivered in the Central M. E. Church, Springfield, Ohio, April 19th, 1865, on the Occasion of the Funeral of Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light. Zech. 14, 6-7. I will not occupy the consecrated hour set apart for the solemn funeral ceremonies of our late President, by indulging in the rehearsal of the oft-repeated, and hackneyed encomiums pronounced upon the illustrious dead. These have been in every newspaper, throughout the land, and on the lips of every child on our streets. Nor will I tax you by tracing the tragic scenes at Washington, in the dramatic language of Shakespeare, nor attempt to describe the fatal bullet by which the deed of darkness was committed. And, O, I would gladly forget a deed so foul and so fiendish, a blow that plunged a nation from the noontide of joy into the midnight of sorrow! Our beloved President deceased, needs no eulogy from us today. His life, his noble deeds, are his best and most lasting panegyric. These have been written on the hearts and memories of the American people, never to be forgotten. Surely it is a query that springs up in every heart - "What had Abraham Lincoln done that he should be deliberately and brutally murdered? What officer, high or low, had exhibited such consideration, such candor, such thoughtfulness, such determination to deal justly, yet loving mercy? He was the facsimile of thorough manhood enshrined in God´s image. Scorned by the vicious, derided by the mean, he was the exemplification of the three crowning glories of the human soul - faithful, hopeful, charitable. Beneath that rough exterior, shone the most loving spirit, the most generous impulse, the most elevated integrity. He was kind to a fault, and no man living was more tender, forgiving or true!"
