Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of John Angell James, Vol. 3: Onewhile Minister of the Church Assembling in Carrs Lane Birmingham It is no disparagement to the Author to say that he owed much of his success and comfort in his church and congregation to the counsel and assistance of his younger brother, whose memory he has embalmed in the following discourse. For Mr James James´s ability and aptitude in business were such as, with due training, would have fitted him to serve the public in posts far higher than those which fell to his lot. And it was most delightful to see the mutual affection of the brothers, and their reciprocal pride in each other. During the thirty-seven years they were spared to each other in Birmingham, Mr James James, notwithstanding several changes of residence, always lived in his brother´s immediate neighbourhood, except for one twelvemonth, which was in consequence a time of discomfort to both. The Author attended his brother through his last illness with the devotion and tenderness of a woman, and never regained his own spirits after laying him in the grave. The Author prefixed to the sermon the following preface: "In discharging the mournful, unusual, and delicate task of preaching a funeral discourse on the death of a beloved brother, I was anxious to say neither all that affection might prompt, nor less than justice demanded. "It will perhaps be thought that the earlier parts of the sermon partake too little of the solemn and the pathetic to suit the occasion. In the selection of a subject, I was guided by three considerations; a wish to avoid whatever might prove too severe a trial of my own feelings; a desire to adapt the discourse to the character and public career of my lamented brother; and an anxiety to hold up a great public principle to guide the conduct of the living."
