Excerpt from John F. W. Ware, and His Work for the Freedmen: An Address in the African Methodist Church, Charles Street, Boston, April 11, 1881Mr. President, -i come with glad feet, but a saddened heart, from my home on the border, not for the purpose of pronouncing a eulogy, or to give a cold, critical analysis of the powers of head and heart of the good man gone, whose loss we so much deplore, but rather to bring the sobs and lamentations of a race he loved, so well and served so faith fully, and to demonstrate that, however destitute we may be of the higher possessions of intellectual gifts, we are not poor in that loftiest and finest attribute of the heart, gratitude. And so, with fond and grateful recollections of the good, grand man, who came to us in our hours of weak ness and need, I come to bring the tribute of a thousand ransomed hearts.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
