Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Funeral Sermon on the Late Hon. Christopher Gore: Formerly Governor of Massachusetts Goodness carries with it the eternal principle of life, deeply engrafted into its constitution; so that it cannot lose it, nor part with It. It is the good, the benevolent, the pious, and the pure, to whom life is promised; and "on such, the second death hath no power." In the sight of men they die; and so far, there is indeed but one event to the righteous and the wicked. But this is only the first, the corporeal death; and in all essential respects they live. I. They live, in the first place, in the good which they have done; in the indestructible life of their virtuous deeds. We all exert an influence on all, whether it be less or more. Our good example both lives with us, and remains after us. It strengthens the cause of virtue, and virtue is life. It is the occasion of happiness to an unknown extent, and happiness is life, the divine essence of life. But in leaving a bad example behind him, a man dies twice. For misery is death, and he has sowed the seeds of it. His actions work out their deadly consequences when he is gone; and in him, and by him, other men are dying; and over him the shades of the second death gather and descend, and the might of its power is on him. On the righteous it has no power. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
