Excerpt from Address at the Funeral of Rev. Stephen Lovell, Oct; 3 1858
And surely we have every thing that there could be in such a case to console us, to give us resignation, and to fill us with the grateful trust that God doeth all things well. Our friend was not snatched away untimely, but in the maturity of his years, when he had drained the cup of experience of its manifold ingredients, and known all that earth had to offer. He had trod the heights and depths of its joys and griefs,tested its prizes, fathomed its disappoint ments and achieved its great end. He lived to see his children's children rise up to call him blessed. He had finished his mortal tasks. And, when prostration and pain fell to his lot, why should he linger? When he could fold his wasted hands on his bosom, and pray, Father, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace; for he hath drained his cup, and is no longer of service here, truly it was his merciful time to die. Who will not bow in resignation? He was not summoned when unprepared; but he was quite ready to die. His whole life, devoted to the sublime ends Of truth and virtue, charity and good-will among men, was an ample preparation for death.
