Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Discourse Delivered at the Funeral of Rev. Thomas Savage: In Bedford, N. H., July 8, 1866 Proverbs X:VII. - "The Memory Of The Just Is Blessed." The good man is long remembered. His memory is most precious. As the light of the sun lingers on the mountain side, bathing in gold the cloud and sky long after he sinks below the horizon, making the approach of night even more beautiful than the brightness of the noon, so the memory of the just lingers long after the living form retires from the scenes of active life. Indeed, the good man´s character seems to enhance in dignity when seen through the shadows of the grave. They become a prism through which the life is more perfect, - the name is as "ointment poured forth"; defects are rendered less obvious, virtues more prominent, and the whole man, clothed in the garments of christian charity, walks forth winning the confidence of men and awakening praise to Almighty God. The usefulness of the wise and good is often increased by the event of death. "Being dead they yet speak," and they speak in a louder, tenderer and more convincing voice than before. Paul did much for Christ while present with the churches - but more since he has entered the presence of the Father. The memory of his name has done more than his example - his epistles more than his preaching. The poor widow who cast two mites into the treasury of the Lord, did little for her Savior while living. But that self-sacrificing deed has been told in all ages, by all tongues, "for a memorial of her." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
