Excerpt from A Sermon Preached in the Beneficent Congregational Church, Providence, September 29, 1839: Occasioned by the Death of Rev. James Wilson, A. M., Late Senior Pastor of Said ChurchI stand not here, surrounded as I em by. These sombre and solemn badges, and by this af¿icted con gregation, to eulogize the dead, but to improve the holy providence that has laid the aged senior Pastor of this people low. I approach the duty now ex pected of me With trembling, for I well know I cannot meet your expectations, nor reach the interest of the subject. A beloved pastor, an able minister, a valued friend has been removed, and this people are here, to day, to mingle their tears, and to improve this sudden providence. Let me say few congregations have had such a pastor to lose, one who had lived so long and labored so faithfully, and few therefore will be called to so solemn an account for the enjoyment of high religious privileges.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
