Excerpt from The Surety of the Upright: A Discourse Preached on the Occasion of the National Fast, June 1, 1865, in the First Parish Meeting-House, Saco, Me For to do right is better than to possess a kingdom. This condition of all true greatness enforced by a Bible Philosophy has ever been, is constantly being illustrated in Human History.

If at any time we are justified in rehearsing the virtues of the de parted, in eulogizing their name or their deeds, one motive alone should control such action, a motive that springs from a hope to re-produce those virtues in the living. And thus, while nothing that the choicest eloquence or the fondest affections could utter shall in the least affect the dead, in whose quiet homes nor human hate or love can disturb, may a review of their life stimulate us to re-produce the good and the worthy in their character. With such a motive let us look at the life and services of our deceased President. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
