Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Discourse Delivered in the First Congregational Church in Niagara City: In Honor of Abraham Lincoln, April 20th, 1865 "Know ye not that there is a Prince and a great man fallen this day?" 2 Samuel iii.38. These words fell from the lips of David. A brave man, by whose valor, wisdom and sagacity, Israel had often been rescued from the clutch of malicious foes, and had been striken down by the hand of the assassin. The King is overwhelmed with grief. He calls upon the nobles and the masses of the people to cloth themselves in the habiliments of mourning. The reason rendered for this National demonstration of sorrow is, that a prince and a great man had fallen in Israel. These words of David, together with the deep sorrow that overwhelmed the masses of the Hebrew people, well represent the cause and propriety of the irrepressible grief of this great nation, weeping over the untimely death of its beloved President. Almost the entire loyal citizenship of the nation had begun to feel that Providence had raised him up to conduct us through this terrible ordeal. His frank, transparent honesty, his unbending integrity, his intuitive sagacity to solve intricate national problems, together with his unassumed massive dignity, his gentleness of spirit and great kindness of heart, had compelled confidence, and gave all a sense of assurance, that our national interests were safe in his hands; while these eminent personal qualities rendered him a noble representative of a great Republic, of a free government, and of a mighty and progressive people.
