Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Sermon Preached in St. Andrew's Church, Toronto: On the Occasion of the Lamented Death the One of the Elders of the Church, the Late Hon. Archibald McLean, President of Her Majesty's Court of Error and Appeal for Upper Canada
But let us take a nearer view of the triumph which Death achieves, that we may mark the character and extent of its enmity. With those heralds of its approach, disease and sickness - the various maladies that ?esh is heir to, Death claims admittance alike into lordly halls and lowly cottage-homes. The most robust frame it strikes down in utter helplessness. Youth is no safeguard against its approach. Wealth cannot purchase, even with all its accumulated treasure, an exemp tion from the power of the great destroyer. Beauty cannot charm it away. The feeble ness of old age is but the welcome to its ap proach.
