Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Hope of the Righteous: Discourses at the Funerals of Prof. Albert Hopkins, Rev. Dr. Nahum Gale and Rev. Dr. N. H. Griffin
It is one of the most pleasant things in my life, that these three men with whom I had been SO long associated in various ways - as pupil, colleague, and friend - Should in their last moments turn their thoughts to me though two of them were far from me - and request that I should speak the last words for them to their kindred and friends. To have the confidence and love of such men to the last after so many years, and to know by such proofs that you were present in their thoughts, as one who understood them, as one to be trusted in things most sacred to them and those whom they loved, is a comfort that outweighs a thousand harsh judgments of those who are hurrying selfishly through the world disturbed by the perplexities of daily life.
