Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Discourse on the Death of Gen. Joseph K. F. Mansfield: Preached in the South Congregational Church, Middletown, on Sabbath Evening, September 28, 1862 The emphasis, therefore, which the demise of any person carries, depends upon the number of related cords that thrill when this central one is sundered. The magnitude of a sore bereavement, and the impressive lessons God would convey by it, are as the length of the shadow which it casts over the living, and the breadth and the depth of the helplessness which sighs over the passing away. And yet there is an interior significance which we must carefully note - an estimate of the man himself, far above all external relations, that gives the real emphasis to any loss the world may sustain by death. Personal worth is above official station and lends it honor. The living glory of the inner kingdom - it is that which sheds lustre upon rank and station, and without which all the relations of life, positions of influence, however numerous and widely extended, are but as sounding brass and hollow pageant. There is much of empty circumstance in this world, clothed, perchance, with imperial majesty; invested, it may be, with more than regal splendor, that is empty as the winds. Princes are sometimes made of the poorest stuff, and so called potentates of the chaff of the earth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
