Synopsis
Excerpt from A Discourse on the Life and Character of John Quincy Adams Delivered in the Unitarian Church, February 27, 1848 Days no more will speak from his lips, nor multitude of years teach wisdom. His death has created a deep and wide spread sensation. Men of all parties lament his departure. The sad intelligence is at this moment rapidly spreading through the land; and in every hamlet and woodmans cottage it will be received with sadness. Such a death is a great lesson. It should not pass unheeded; and I have thought it might be good for us, and a wise improvement of this Sabbath hour, to indulge such meditations as this death suggests. Behold, the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, doth take away the mighty man, the judge, the prophet - and all the land is filled with sadness. But let it be remembered, that what the Lord takes away he also gave. We are apt to be selfish in our sorrow for the loss of what we value. A.11 grief for blessings withdrawn should be mingled with grateful joy that such blessings were granted; and when a great and good man, after a long and useful life, has been gathered to the garner of Heaven, like a shock of corn fully ripe, grief should give place to joy for the gift of such a blessing to the nation and to mankind. The great and good man is one of Gods best gifts, and the noblest subject of contemplation that this world contains.
