Assassination of the President: A Discourse on the Death of Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Assassination of the President: A Discourse on the Death of Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States

With such a thought as this, we come to the house of God to-day. Such an occurrence as that which we now lament was never before known in the history of our land. It belongs to the incredible tales of the dark ages. It is out of place in such a land as ours. It hardly entered into our hearts to think it might occur; and this has been the very cause which left our nation's ruler defenceless, and gave the assassin opportunity to execute his plans, and yet to effect his escape boldly.
