Synopsis

Excerpt from Ethical Addresses

Who will not assent to this judgment upon our kind? It is here or never that we make life more of a blessing, less of a curse, for our fellows. There is a pang which cuts deeper than any thought that the dead are gone for ever: it is the reflection that while they lived, we failed to Show them all the respect, all the kindness which was their due. It is the loving word Which the living person did not hear that makes the funeral eulogy almost a mock ery; it is the flower which we did not offer him in life that makes the flowers on his coffin breathe by contrast almost poison. Oh, friends, let us learn what it means to live with one another before it is too late! The word of forgiveness which may never get the chance to be heard, speak it to-day. The clasp of the hand bringing back to a benumbed heart the sense that it is understood and trusted, give it now when it is needed, ere the day comes when the sting will hurt that it was ever withheld or delayed.
