Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sermon Delivered in the First Presbyterian Church, Newburyport, August 23, 1857: Commemorative of the Character of Miss. Mary C. Greenleaf; Late a Missionary Teacher at Wapanucka, in the Chickasaw Nation Matthew 26 : 13. "There shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her." We all wish to leave some record on the sands of time; and whether consciously or otherwise, all are raising memorials of themselves. No one is so humble, as not to be remembered and spoken of for a short time at least, and in a circle more or less extended. The grass retains the impress of the passing foot; the disturbed waters return not at once to rest, where even a stone has casually fallen; and a hillock remains over the grave of the lowliest, and distinguishes it for awhile from the common earth around. And so in the places that once knew them, traces will linger, and be more or less distinct, of the mortal career of every man. But whilst the desire to which I alluded is the common passion, implanted for wise purposes; whilst it serves to awaken our dormant powers, and invigorate and direct our energies; and whilst none pass at once to oblivion; how few outlast the yearly cycle, or perform deeds that deserve to be remembered; that will continue, and be fruitful of good, and yield harvests, to those who come after.
