To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And the man was Garfield. The text of this sermon, as I announced it, I fear, scarcely com- mended itself to your hearts as the right text for our part in this na- tion's weeping. Surely joy, in any sense of merriment, is the farthest from the nation's heart. On the contrary, never before has the earth witnessed such accordant, spontaneous expressions of grief as to-mor- row noon will bring. It were impossible save in a Republic; the peo- ple lamenting the king they themselves had crowned. And ...when, sixteen years ago, the remains of that first martyred Executive were borne across the North to the tomb at Springfield, the passions of the civil strife were yet unsoothed and certainly one sec- tion of the land did not universally mourn. But as certainly, to-mor- row, will there be from the Lakes to the Gulf, from ocean to ocean, not one heart which is not touched, not one pulse which will not throb responsive to the funeral dirge. It is the spontaneous, one-voiced la- mentation of fifty million freemen.
