Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Beecher as a Humorist: Selections From the Published Works of Henry Ward Beecher This volume was practically completed just before the spirit which animates it, and which had brought uplift and comfort and knowledge and wholesome mirth to so many hearts, had been called home. Then, for a time, the thought of giving to the world these laughter-provoking extracts seemed almost like a sacrilege. But soon a more healthful feeling prevailed. Why should the song cease because the singer was gone? Why should the help that comes from laughter be ended because the mirth-making spirit had departed? Nothing, certainly, could be more out of harmony with the teachings of the author than that. And so, like the flowers which, at his request, took the place of the usual trappings of woe, and caused every passer-by to think of new happiness in immortal gardens, this volume of laughter is sent abroad with the full faith that the great orator and teacher - the most spontaneous humorist that America has ever known - would, if he could speak to us, bid it God-speed.
