Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Celebration of the One Hundreth Anniversary of the Incorporation of Westminster, Mass: Containing an Address, by Hon. Charles Hudson, of Lexington, a Poem, by Mr. William S. Heywood, of Milford, and the Other Proceedings and Exercise Connected With the Occasion We have met here to-day, not to honor the living, but to revere the dead. And, though we rightfully rejoice in the present, we glory in it as the result of the past. I stand here, to-day, to speak for the past; and, in the name of that past, I welcome you to these hills and vales, made fruitful by the toil of your fathers; to these rivulets, which watered and fertilized their meadows; to these delightful landscapes, which cheered and gladdened their ♥ to this Hill, where they knelt in devotion, and to yonder valley, where their remains rest in peace. I am certain that the joys of this day will be heightened by a recurrence to days gone by, - by pleasant memories of the scenes of your childhood, and by the fond recollections of the mothers who bore, the fathers who protected, and the friends who surrounded you. The present is but the offspring of the past; and filial gratitude requires that we should, at stated times, turn our attention to what has gone before us. And surely it is not too much to turn aside from the bustle and business of life once in a Century, and contemplate our origin as individuals and as a community. The causes which led to the settlement of New England, the landing of the Puritans upon these shores, the sufferings they endured, and the fortitude with which they bore them - their love of education, their attachment to civil liberty, and, above all, their ardent devotion to the great principles of religion, "are known and read of all men," and need not be repeated here.
