Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Discourse Occasioned by the Death of the Hon. John Quincy Adams: Delivered in the Rowe Street Baptist Church, February 27, 1848 It would not be right to allow such an occasion to pass unimproved. It hath its voice. To give it then a tongue, is wise in us. In this event God speaks. Great men are his gifts. He raises them up to achieve the purposes of his wisdom and his goodness. The mind of capacious intellect, of great forecast, of nice discernment, connecting the faculty of patient attention to details with that of splendid philosophical generalization, illumined by varied knowledge, united to a heart of tender sensibility and of lofty courage, endowed with the love of truth, honor, rectitude, together with well-balanced powers of conception and execution, is one of the noblest objects of his creation; and the fitting combination of events to give it ample verge and scope is all of his ordering. The removal of such gifted men from the earth in the prime of life or in the culmination of their manly strength, is often spoken of in the sacred Scripture as a severe judgment on any people; as was the case when the Prophet of God announced a nation´s doom by the threatening, "The Lord doth take away from Judah and Jerusalem the stay and the staff, the judge and the prophet, the prudent and the honorable man, the counsellor and the eloquent orator;" for then, it is added, "children shall be their princes, and the people shall be oppressed."
