Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Sermon in Memory of Colonel Ulric Dahlgren: Delivered in the First Presbyterian Church, Washington, D. C., Sabbath Evening, April 24, 1864
Time, ever fertile of humanity, rarely pro duces such heroes. To-day it is given us to behold not only one Of the latest, but also one of the loftiest, examples. As they did of Old, we look upon it through blinding tears, but tears whose thick and grievous mist can never obscure its brightness. We see it through a storm of such mingled emotions as seldom sweeps the throbbing chords Of human na ture, or stirs the soul Of a great people at once with pain and pride, sadness and scorn, anguish and indignation. We may gaze on till the heart is well-nigh bursting, for long may it be before the like of it shall rise again!
