Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Memorial of Edward Everett: A Discourse Preached in the First Church, Dorchester, Sunday, Jan, 22, 1865 "For, behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the honorable Man And The Counsellor, And The Eloquent Orator." - Isa. iii. 3. I Shall not soon forget the feelings with which I heard, on leaving my pulpit last Sunday morning, that Edward Everett was dead. The tidings, I confess - whether worthily so or not - were peculiarly depressing to me; the day wore thenceforth a cloud, above whose shadows I could not rise. And since, throughout the week, the event has been almost continually in mind, the commanding point of thought and reflection. I would speak of him here; well assured that I am addressing those who have felt with me the shock of the event, and with whom it has also been the weeks absorbing theme, - as where, indeed, has it not been? as, from point to point, the tidings have flown through the Great Republic that claimed him as its son; claimed a common ownership in his fame, as it had enjoyed a common benefit from his labors.
