Excerpt from A Sermon: On Occasion of the Late Calamity at WashingtonIt is not my part on this occasion, to address words of consolation to the immediate mourners in this dread catastrophe, yet I am sure that I may truly express our heartfelt sympathy, and that of the whole nation, in their deep bereavement. May God comfort them, and may he give power to their spiritual guides and to their many friends, as far as human power can go, to console them in their great sorrow!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
