THE. BCDY PRESIDENT LINCOLN WAS LYING
IN INDEPENDENCE HALL.
• •
"And the. king lamented ever Abner, and
'said, as a marl falleth, before wicked men So
fellest thou. Know ye - not that there is a
prince and a greatrnan fallen thie; dayin Israel?'
Segos'. 83,-.34, ;,33.
If such a eulogium could justly be pron'ounced.
on Abner, with vastly more appropriateness
may it be applied to him whose deud body, at
this solemn honrilies in state in th iyuorial

: Abner was a man of determined mind. and

'-had.displayed eminent . courage and abilities;
but in the manner of his' death alone, which
Was accemplished by treachery, does his history

From the time 1 understood tbat the remains
of the President-would restin the 'city over the
Sabbath,l felt, that I could not use the ordinary
topics of pulpit discourse; but though we had
thought, and spoken, and prayed,. and wept so
much ,over his memory, some more last words
.
would be indispensably in place todaY.
-
Accordingly nave prepared the dicourse,
to which I,iuvite your atteutiPn, not , proposing
an elaborate work, but simply giving utterance
to those seinfrnerfifof admiration, regard,' and
,
affection which I cherish, without much caring
for the 'order .in which they come, and feeling
assured' that, in all I can say of this , character,
your will warrant me to act as the mouth-piece
of your own expressions.
For fear, however, we might exhibit the ap
pearance of man-worship, and seem to lose
sight of that higher Being,'the Creator of all
greatness,"the Pattern and - Author of all , human
goodness, join with me, first, in .ascribing, to
him supreme greatness, and power, and glory,
and victory and majesty. • •
. It is a just persuasion that God is better than
all men and angels; for he brought •the whole
existing realm 01 being, into life, and • the Al
mighty power thus demonstrated is plainly able
to create another system, and another, even to
infinity, so that God is greater and his life, and
happiness, and honor are of more worth, than
all imaginable created greatness and excellence.
Then it is also true that every man is imperfect,
Whilst every feature of public or private virtue
that appears in our race is derived from the
King of kings and Lord of Lords. With these,
'cautions that we do not offend the Divine'ma :
jesty, I willprObeed with my task.
In the beginning of our dread contest, although'
we knew but little of the character and policy
of our President, every wise man understood
that he was the centre of our hopes and the
right arm of our Safety; and every, loyal heart
clung to him, and pledged - beforehand to his
raeaSures'of administratip4a - determined sup-,
His speech, as he left Springfield, was hailed
by every considerate mind as a harbinger of
good. He said:--"A duty devolves •on me,
greater, perhaps, than has fallen on any other
man since the days of Washington. I feel`that
I cannot succeed without the same Divine,aid
that sustained him. On the same Almighty
Being I rely for support, and I hope, myfriends,
you will all pray that I may receive the Divine
assistance." • - -
"Now such a sense of responsibility and de
pendence on God constitutes, in these circum
-stances, a reel- greatness, and_ this sentiment,
happily tor,us, proiredthe key-note of all his
public actions. • ,
