Excerpt from The Death of the President: Sermon But while we thus try to assuage our grief by philosophy, yet our tears return when we feel that our loved nation is bereft of a father, a guide, a friend; return when we see the great heart, with its tenderness toward soldier and citizen and slave, done with its pulsations re turn when we think of the low ingratitude that took the life of one so worthy to live. In our grief we come to the temple of Jehovah, and cry out, thelord reigneth - let the earth be glad. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
