Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address in Commemoration of James Abram Garfield: President of the United States, Delivered in the Meeting House of the First Baptist Church of Philadelphia At high noon of Friday, the fourteenth day of April, 1865, the National Flag, which precisely four years before had been first traitorously struck down at Fort Sumter, was, by order of President Lincoln, re-uplifted on the spot of the original surrender. Recognizing the symbolical propriety of the President´s order, we, at the same hour, gathered in this temple to commemorate the re-establishment of the National Flag. It was indeed an exultant scene. The church was gaily festooned, and in our music we blended the Star-Spangled Banner and the Battle-Hymn of the Republic, with the Triumphal Ode of Deborah. Alas! Man, thou pendulum betwixt a smile and tear! Late in the evening of that same Friday, our great President fell, the victim of the assassin´s bullet. It, was in the early days of telegraphy, and the joyous nation retired to sleep, unconscious of the mighty bereavement which had befallen them.
