Excerpt from The Divinely Prepared Ruler, and the Fit End of Treason: Two Discourses Delivered at the First Presbyterian Church, Springfield, Illinois, by Invitation of the Session, on the Sabbath Following the Burial of President Lincoln, May 7, 1865 This text brings prominently before us that remarkable divine election and providence whereby David was brought from the humble Circumstances and occupations of a peas ant, to the high position and responsibilities of a monarch. It also suggests a connection between the pursuits of his early life and the noble character exemplified in his event ful and glorious reign. The appropriateness of these topics to this occasion is manifest. We mourn for one whom God chose to rule a great people during a most wonderful, most critical, most glorious period of their history, and whom He trained for that great work in an early life, not unlike that which formed and developed the mind and body of king David.
