Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Lament of the Church at the Sepulchre of the Righteous: A Sermon on the Death of Frederick A. Raybold, Esq., Delivered in the Third Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, May 11th, 1851
We have, as I understand, assembled for the purpose of paying a tribute Of res peet to the memory Of a deceased member Of the Bar, whom we held in the highest estimation.
My' relations with Mr. Raybold personally commenced at very early life. His father was an intimate friend of my early years, and I traced the progress Of his son from boyhood to manhood.
I have observed his conduct as an Officer of my own Court, when he was the chief assistant Of Mr. Palmer. I have noticed his conduct while practising his profession, and have ever observed him to be characterised by remarkable integrity Of character, a life of truth and high and elevated moral tone.
Indeed, I think I might fairly offer his course as an example to the younger members of the Bar, that which ought to be the course of those who expect ulti mately to gain a prominent and lasting reputation in our profession.
This is the first occasion at which I have appeared at a meeting of the members Of the Bar, and in mingling with you now is not a mere cold form, but it is intended to express my deep regard for him, whose death is a loss to society; Of an honest man and a good citizen; and to manifest to his family that degree Of sympathy which may have a consoling in?uence on their minds.
