Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Death of a Mother: A Discourse Delivered in the First Congregational Church, Chicago, Illinois, Sabbath, August 2, 1857 There is no sound in the English language, if we except that which expresses the name of our Savior, which falls upon the ear with so sweet and touching a cadence as the word Mother. From the earliest hours of dependent and affectionate childhood to the last moments of expiring age, it is, of all words which relate to earth, the most precious, retaining its charm through every change of life, and breathing music into the very ear of death. The face upon which our eyes first learned to look with love in this world, remains fixed in memory - as it were daguerreotyped on the heart - until the pulse ceases to beat and we pass to a world where the relationships of time merge in those of eternity. This feeling of interest and affection is the result of a divine constitution. God ordained that every human being, subsequent to the first created pair, should have a mother. "Not even the man Christ Jesus" was exempt from this law of continuance into mortal life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
