Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sermon in Memory of Colonel Ulric Dahlgren: Delivered in the First Presbyterian Church, Washington, D. C., Sabbath Evening, April 24, 1864 2 Sam., 3: 34. "Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters - as a man falleth before wicked men, so fellest thou. And all the people wept again over him!" A brave man had fallen by assassination. He had not died as a felon or a coward. No earthly power could bind his hands or put his feet in fetters. None had ever been able to take him captive, or confine him in chains and prisons. He was swift as the roe of the mountain, with an eagle´s eye, lion-hearted, strong in battle. His valorous deeds had made his name a household word in the nation. In an unsuspecting moment, he was ensnared. Jealousy, fear, rage and revenge - the base quaternion of passion under the guise of hypocrisy, set upon him and smote him down. Such a death went home to the heart of the people; at every thought of it they bewailed him aloud. The king with lamentation pronounced this eulogy over "a prince and a great man fallen that day in Israel." Time, ever fertile of humanity, rarely produces such heroes. To-day it is given us to behold not only one of the latest, but also one of the loftiest examples. As they did of old, we look upon it through blinding tears, but tears whose thick and grievous mist can never obscure its brightness. We see it through a storm of such mingled emotions as seldom sweeps the throbbing chords of human nature, or stirs the soul of a great people at once with pain and pride, sadness and scorn, anguish and indignation.
