Excerpt from Discourse on the National Fast (May 14, 1841): Observed on Occasion of the Death of President Harrison But the new President of the United States, who, in the manner provided by the Constitution, has succeeded to the office, among other indications of his being properly impressed by the solemnity of the occasion, and of the station to which he has thus been suddenly and unexpectedly advanced by the combined voices of the people and of God, has reminded us that one thing more remains to be done. He has issued his proclamation, recommending to the whole nation to assemble this day, in their several places of worship, and to conclude their solemn Observances and proceedings, in reference to the occasion, by united and humble prayer.
