A Sermon on the Death of President Garfield

Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from A Sermon on the Death of President Garfield: Preached in the First Church of Hartford "Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils." "His breath goeth forth; he returneth to his earth: in that very day his thoughts perish." How solemnly these words utter themselves in our hearing to-day, sounding out of the cloud which darkens all the land! The frailty and vanity of human power; the might and mystery of mortality; the greatness and awfulness of Divine Providence; how they echo and reverberate in the events which crowd upon the Nation´s thoughts this funereal Sabbath morning! And what a tremendously added emphasis do these facts and monitions derive from the sharpness of that contrast between what seemed less than seven short months ago, and what indubitably is to-day! Not seven months ago a man in the full vigor of physical and intellectual strength stood up at our National Capitol and took the oath of office as President of fifty millions of people: to-day a flying car has just borne along the lines of one of our inland railways a shrunken and mutilated form, to be deposited in six narrow feet of Ohio burial-ground.
