Excerpt from An Historical Oration on the Life and Labors of Rev. Hezekiah G. Leigh, D.D: Delivered in Kinston, N. C. By Rev. W. H. Moore, D.D., Of the North Carolina Conference, December 8, 1896To honor the living who deserve our esteem on account of their virtues, is both a duty and a pleasure. We are not slow to recog nize the worth of those who have put us under obligations to them, by enriching us in material things, whether their services have been rendered to us as individuals, or as the benefactors of man kind. But, to hold in grateful and loving remembrance the names and virtues of our sainted dead, and to keep these fresh in the minds of the living, making of them an inspiration to a nobler life for ourselves, and coming generations, is a duty we owe both to the dead and the living.It has been said that the refinement of a people can be judged of by the care they take of the graves of their dead and, it may be more truthfully said, that a peoples appreciation of a noble life is manifested by the sacredness with which the memory of that life is cherished.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
