Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Discourse, Preached, Sabbath, December 23, 1855: At the Funeral of Mrs. Rebecca Bowers, of Middle Haddam, Conn And when the Sabbath comes, (all work and play and worldly talk being religiously laid aside in her home from sundown of Saturday till Monday morning,) I see the same little girl, hand in hand with parents, brothers and sisters, growing to a flock of nine, ascending the same hill to the old meeting-house, a little beyond the school-house, and then the religious center and capital of all this region. There she first hears a gospel minister, who "seems to her like an angel from heaven." That reverend man (Rev. Benjamin Bowers) is the father of her predestined husband. Then appears a young lady, after the pattern of ladyship drawn by King Lemuel´s mother. Prov. 31. Then succeeds the rejoicing bride, with her happy husband. Yet quickly again she is the young weeping widow, with two fatherless babes. In the prime and promise of early manhood, her husband, a captive of his country´s foes, sinks with his captors to an ocean grave, a victim of the dread scourge of war. Years pass by, and she becomes the wife of him whose father baptized her when twenty-five days old. With him ("his heart doth safely trust in her" - Prov. 31) she journeys on to the ripe age of eighty. Twenty years more of widowhood, sustained by Christian hope and trust, and "she goes to her fathers in peace, and is buried in a good old age." Gen. 15 : 15. That cradled infant, so far away in the returnless past, that hearty school-girl, that young bride, mother, widow, - wife, mother and widow the second time, outliving her last husband twenty, and her last child thirty-five years, is the venerable friend whose mortal remains are before us. From that cradle, rocked by parents and grand-parents, to this coffin, followed by grand-children, extends a pilgrimage of one hundred years, eight months and twelve days. Scarcely one in fifty thousand attains to this age in our commonwealth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
