Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Death of Abraham Lincoln: A Sermon, Preached in the Congregational Church in New Milford, Conn;, April 23, 1865
An event so sudden and shocking in character, so public and wide-spread in its effects, so singular and anomalous in American history, of course attracts the largest attention of our inhabitants. We are all eager to arrive at the true interpretation of this sad tragedy, regarded in the light of a providential dispensation, having an important bearing upon the present and future history of our country. In other words, the question presses on the mind of the intelligent christian citizen, what improvement shall be drawn from this latest page of the history of God's providential dealings with us as a people in these latter days? I shall at the present time endeavor to indicate, in several distinct propositions, what seem to my mind some of the prominent lessons which we are taught by it.
