Excerpt from The Death of President Lincoln: A Sermon Preached in the Presbyterian Church, Binghamton, Sabbath Morning, April 16, 1865 The father of this nation lies dead. In the President's mansion, at Washington, his lifeless form rests in the sleep that knows no waking: he has ceased from his cares and anxieties, he is at peace, while a weeping people bows before God in the bitterness of grief. From the breathless stillness of the nation, watching the current of events, from the shout of victory, now and then interrupting the silence, from the agony of suspense over the question, whether the transition from war to peace can be successfully made, he has taken his departure - the foremost man in interest and in responsibility, - he has laid down his office, he has gone to give his account at the bar above, he has gone, we may hope, to sit down with that Jesus whom, he has said, 'he loved.'
