SERMON. 9 " He that ruleth over man must be just, ruling in the fear of God. " How fairly do these words de- scribe him. Who was just, if he was not ? or who, if we may read the man's inmost heart from his words, did ever rule more conscientiously in the fear of God ? Honesty and his name were synonymous ; and now that he is dead, what more could he ask, what nobler record, than that he was proverbially the honest man ? And then, how tender-hearted ; men thought at last almost too much so ; but... let us rather think of that grand, Christ-like trait with thankfulness, that it beamed forth so brightly from his person at the last. When they struck him down he was meditating how to do them good ; his last official acts were acts of kindness and leniency, so marked as to excite, in some quarters, alarm ; in him they murdered their best friend ; his heart was full of plans of conciliation at the moment when they aimed at it their execrable blow. That is enough for every lover of peace to make him look, with moist- ened eyes, at that untimely grave.
