Excerpt from A Sermon Preached in Braintree, Mass., August 15, 1873, at the Funeral of Rev. Richard Salter Storrs, D.DThere are prudential hints which have too much of a domestic character to be printed, and yet are impor tant enough to be repeated in the domestic circle by ministers to their sons who are to be ministers. There are wise proverbs which enter into the table talk of the parsonage, and are so impressed on the minds of the children as to become regulating princi ples of their lives, and to make up what is called their ministerial character. The man Whose death we now mourn was noted for the clerical type of his virtues. It is difficult to imagine him as adopting that style of manners, or of dress even, which is more consonant with the business of a layman than of a clergyman.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
