Description

Excerpt from The Sacred Sympathy of Sorrow: The Discourse Commemorative of the Rev. William Croswell It was an ancient Roman superstition that the place was sacred which the lightning struck. How sacred must the spot be ever held where I now stand, on which the lambent flame of love from God did but dissolve the bonds which held it here, to set the Spirit of our darling free, and bid it welcome to the heaven which christ had opened for it! And how cold and dead must be our hearts, if, in the light ofsuch an Euthanasia, they be not waked from their dull dreams of earth, and do not imp their wings to take the upward flight by which he went to be with jesus! Oh, that the simple words which I am now (please God, ) to Speak, may have, through grace, the unction of his life; may bear, through grace, the urgent warning of his death; may win your souls, through grace, to holiness, with the attraction which drew him to Heaven' william croswell was born in Hudson, New York, on the 7th day of November, 1804. He was among that great company of the preachers who were not born in the Church which their hearts have afterwards embraced, and to which their lives have been devoted. He was thus not baptized till 1813, before which time his father had removed to Albany, and had become a Churchman. A nobler Churchman does not live, nor one that has done better service to the Church, than the Rector of Trinity Church, New Haven. The lines which William has recorded with the date of his own two-and-thirtieth birthday, need no deduction on the score of filial love, but are as true as if they were not written by a son. My father, proud am I to bear Thy face, thy form, thy stature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
