Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Funeral Discourse, Delivered August 26th, on Occassion of the Death of Major Thomas Rowland: A Ruling Elder in the 2d Presbyterian Church of Detroit, Who Died on the 13th of August, 1849 Psalms xxxvii, 37 - "Mark the perfect man and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace." "The memory of the just is blessed. The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance. Mark the perfect man and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace." These are first truths in the philosophy of heaven. Established principles in the government of God - earth often casts out the names of good men as evil, but God causes them to be remembered, while "the memory of the wicked doth rot." Death may mar the forms of those we love; and we desire to have them buried from our sight - but their features will be graven indelibly on our minds, and their virtues be enshrined in our recollection, and their influence be perpetuated in its power; for though dead they will yet continue to speak, in their remembered counsels, and by their consistent lives. Such we believe will be the case in reference to one whose loss we all now mourn, but who himself, we doubt not, is in the enjoyment of the "eternal gain." We meet to-day to pay one of the last tributes of respect to departed worth. We meet to mingle our sympathies with surviving friends. We meet to record the goodness of God, and to honor Him by acknowledging to His praise the work of redeeming, and in a measure sanctifying and thus preparing for the "better land, one who in this city has been long and favorably known - first as a soldier - that place so unfavorable to piety; yet not without its christian heroes - its Cornelius´s - who even there have feared God; but more recently and better known as a statesman, and officer in our churches, and soldier of the cross. God in his all-wise Providence has taken away from the 2d Presbyterian Church - an Elder - a counsellor - a tried Christian - a patient, humble, self-denying and most useful laborer, who was content to "do good by stealth and blush to find it fame."
