Excerpt from Discourse, Delivered at the Funeral of John Church, Maury, Trinity Church, Washington: February 4, 1855 We stand to-day in the presence of an overwhelming affliction. It is no ordinary sorrow that casts its shadow upon us. A whole community mourns the loss of a good citizen, faithful and true. This church mourns the loss of a firm and valued friend and supporter. Yonder bereaved household mourns the loss of its revered and beloved head, the tender, loving husband and father-, and many a home of poverty and obscurity mourns that the hand so often extended for its relief now lies cold and still upon the bosom. We have, however, another work to perform than merely to excite your sympathies, bear with us, then, while we turn from these personal allusions, to improve the sad event to our souls good, and to draw from the Psalmists words the great lessons of truth and duty, so appropriate to the occasion.
