Synopsis
Excerpt from Parting Words: A Discourse Delivered in the North Church, Hartford, July 3, 1859
He affirms it even of a bad man, though not that it will be, of course, his sentiment. He is such a man as may well enough be much afraid to die, and he may naturally hope that he will somehow be restored to his country and throne. It is only the prophet's own sen timent, knowing that he will not. Far more clear were the truth of it, if he were a good man, consciously ready to die. He could well enough go home to God; but to be separated from the acquaintances, and scenes, and works, in which he has lived, without going home, is a very different matter. He loses the mortal state, without gaining the immortal; goes away alive into exile from his own life itself, the associations it has constructed, the works it has done, the sympathies it has attracted, the very seeds it has planted and fondly hopes to see in their growth.
In tracing briefly the truth of this sentiment, far be it from us to speak lightly of death. To close one's eyes on all that is earthly, to sunder all the ties of mortal love, to wind up the grand affair of trial that we call life, and enter on the fixed result of it, makes the point of death a center where so many mountain like thoughts crowd heavily in, that we may not think of it as being otherwise than a most trying ordeal to pass. We are only to see that there may be a separa tion more trying even than this.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the poignant and complex relationship between a minister and his congregation. Written in the style of a farewell sermon, the author explores the deep emotional bonds that develop over years of shared faith and service. The author grapples with the bittersweet reality of leaving his flock, reflecting on the profound impact of separation and the enduring nature of love and loss. The book's themes resonate with a broader historical context of religious thought and practice in the early American colonies. The author's focus on individual faith, the importance of personal piety, and the weight of responsibility within a community echoes the prevailing religious sensibilities of the era. While the author's primary concern is with the spiritual well-being of his congregation, he also touches upon broader social and political concerns, reflecting the complex interplay between religion and society in his time. The author contemplates the nature of separation, arguing that the pain of leaving loved ones and familiar surroundings can be more profound than the experience of death itself. He also delves into the challenges of leadership, emphasizing the importance of humility, truth, and unity in the face of adversity.
