Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Rev. William H. Lyon, D.D: An Address by the Rev. Harold N. Brown, D.D., At the Dedication of the Memorial Tablet to Dr. Lyon, Sunday, November 11, 1917
Mr. Emerson once said to Mr. Alcott, so the first of these two sages of Concord once told me, that he (mr. Alcott) must go first out of the world. And when the latter queried why this should be, Mr. Emerson replied, Because I can then give a better account of you to the world than ever you could give of yourself. I will not pretend that this is any reason why I should be here, the earthly survivor, to speak of one whose work on earth is done. But I can speak of Dr. Lyon in terms that he was not likely to use in any estimate he made of himself, even though he employed them only in the secrecy of his own heart.
