Excerpt from God Cares for Our Dead: Sermon Of course I can have no objection to your publishing any of my discourses which may con tain some word of comfort to those who are mourning over their dead. Your own home has met with such sad losses, that if any hearts know what words are full of comfort, your hearts must be stored with that sad ability. I wish the whole public could know with what resignation and peace you have passed from the tears of the grave back to every form of human and Christian duty. It is the mistake often of those who have lost some loved one to think that they must attempt to recover from the awful shock and separation. No educated mind ought ever to recover fully from such wounds of the spirit. When a child or near one by blood or by a divine friendship goes away from us, the mourning should continue while life lasts. Are we to suppose that Edmund Burke ever forgot for a day the death of his son? Did Hallam feel for a few months only the absence of his idolized boy? The tears must last while the absence continues. Nothing but the meeting in immortality should end the long pensive remem brance. The sad memories which death brings are a part of our education. Under that influence of an absent soul the heart softens, and man goes forth each day more of a friend to his race, and more of a worshiper of his God. The death of a friend exalts those who remain to weep. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
