Excerpt from Memorial of the Rev. Henry G. Comingo, D. D., Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Steubenville, Ohio: Containing His Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Discourse, Proceeding of the Anniversary Meeting, His Two Sermons, Delivered November 24th, Funeral Discourse I remember the days of old, I meditate on all Thy works; I muse on the work of Thy Hands. - Psalm 143: v. 5. One much given to solemn reflection, has said with striking emphasis: - "´Tis greatly wise to talk with our past hours, And ask them what report they bore to Heaven." Israel was commanded to "remember all the way in which the Lord their God had led them." Even a slight acquaintance with the mental habits of the Psalmist will show that he found both a favorite and profitable study, in the records of the past. Hear some of the many utterances of the inspired Lyrist: "I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient × I call to remembrance, my song in the night." "I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High. I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember Thy wonders of old." We cannot believe that it will be displeasing to our Divine Sovereign, for us to occupy our attention with the suggestive and instructive retrospect of the times, and seasons given to us for our profit, now closed to us, and irretrieveably drifted beyond the bourne of Time. Hence, it is reasonable and proper, that on this special occasion, when we attempt to cast back our vision upon the way which the Lord has led us, for a quarter of a century, that first of all we lift up our hearts and voices to "the Father of Lights, from whom cometh every good and perfect gift," in fervent thanksgiving, and here raise our Ebenezer, inscribing upon it those memerable words of faith and prayer, "Hitherto hath the Lord helped us." Standing in the peculiar position, in which we are placed this day, it makes a world-wide difference whether we look upon the quarter of a century, just now completed, or upon the same number of years this day begun. The former is the well explored country, all surveyed, and mapped, and open to the gaze of every beholder. The latter is the virgin continent, just looming up in the hazy distance, in sight of the discoverer. The former has written out its chronology, its discoveries, its biographic and historic sketches, and wholly withdrawn the veil from the once hidden epoch, unequalled in interest in any similar past period of the Christian era.
