Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sermon Upon the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln The following scenes, descriptive of the excitement attending the delivery of Mr. Gaddis´ sermon, is taken from the Cincinnati Daily Times, Monday, April 18th: Long before dark, Sunday evening, an immense crowd congregated in front of the Methodist Church, on Sixth street, between Vine and Race, presided over by Rev. M. P. Gaddis. No sooner had the doors been thrown open, than the crowd immediately filled the church to overflowing, but not one-fourth of the crowd could get in, and thousands remained outside, filling up all the approaches to it; and when the time came for the pastor to open the services, he found it a matter of impossibility to do so, as he could not even get an entrance to the church. Finding it impossible to proceed with the services in his church, a committee of several of our well known citizens, having procured the consent of Mr. Gaddis to deliver his sermon in Mozart Hall, providing that Hall could be obtained, an announcement was immediately made from the church steps, of the intention to deliver the sermon from that place, but some delay would take place, as the janitor would have to be seen, and the Hall lighted. The crowd immediately proceeded to Mozart Hall, and waited there patiently for it to be opened. Some disappointment was manifested when it was found that the Hall could not be obtained, the janitor refusing the use of it, as his orders were not to let the Hall that evening for any purpose. Another announcement was then made, that as it was then late, and even if the Opera House could be procured, it would take at least an hour before the house could be lighted, it would be impossible to carry the idea into effect, and that Mr. Gaddis would be compelled to deliver his sermon in his church to as many as were fortunate enough to crowd into it. The immense crowd then left Mozart Hall, and proceeded back to the church, which was soon crowded to overflowing, but thousands still remained outside, and showed no disposition to leave the vicinity, not only the sidewalks being full, but the street also.
