Senator and Minister to Spain, Died Nov. 19, 1873, Aged 67 Years: Funeral Address, Saturday, November 22, 1873, Memorial Sermon, Sunday, November 23, 1873 I think that they who are accustomed to judge our friend's life (and perhaps Of the motives Of that life), by its successes instead Of its sacrifices, are at fault in SO doing. The successes came, indeed, as the divine Providence that guides the world, and its destiny sometimes permits such triumphs to follow upon human endeavor and righteous service. But the successes came, not without long waiting, and many, many dark days and deeds Of sacrifice. Said one, who was not in political affinity with our departed friend, and whose testimony is therefore Of the more value, When Mr. Hale took his seat in the Senate, he was almost alone, and had to combat, single-handed, against the political giants Of those days. Sometimes, he was met with labored arguments, and again by bitter reproaches. Sometimes, those who were his peers, would affect to ignore him, and again they would mercilessly denounce him, as advancing doctrines dangerous to the Republic. But he was not to be Silenced, or intimi dated, in the discharge Of what he believed to be his duty. 80 high were his aims, and SO conciliatory his manners, that before the close Of his Senatorial term, he had beaten down the barriers Of Opposition, and fairly conquered. He was thus not only the standard-bearer, but the pioneer Of the North, in the Senate. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
