Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Discourse Occasioned by the Death of Abraham Lincoln: President of the United States of America; Who Was Assassinated in Washington, Friday, April 14th, 1865, Preached in the Park Street Church, Boston, on the Next Lord's Day
There was talk, with some, of reversing our associa tions with this month of the Spring, and our religious Observances wedded to its annual return, and making it henceforth our month of most tuneful rejoicing - the coronal of the year. But not now! We cannot change thee, oh, weeping April! Oh, month of tears! Pour down all thy warm showers from our eyes the rain falls faster yet! Evermore, from henceforth, at thy return, thou and the sorrowing nation shall weep together.
