WORDS COMMEMORATIVE OF HENRY BIGELOW, M.D. SPOKEN ON THURSDAY, JAN. 25, IN ELIOT CHURCH; AND ON SUNDAY, JAN. 28, 1866, IN CHANNING CHURCH, NEWTON. BY EDWARD J. YOUNG. Published by Request. BOSTON: NICHOLS AND NOYES. 1866. SELECTIONS FROM SCRIPTURE. H ELP, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth, for the faithful fail from among the children of men. He hath given up the ghost; his sun is gone down while it was yet day. How unsearchable are God's judgments, and his ways past finding out! Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel? 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. All ye that are about him bemoan him; and all ye that know his name say, How is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod! For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith. He was a burning and a shining light. One that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue. |
