Funeral Discourse: Over the Remains of the Hon. Henry M. Spofford; Delivered in the Methodist Church in Pulaski, Tenn;; August 24, 1880 (Classic Reprint)
Description:Excerpt from Funeral Discourse: Over the Remains of the Hon. Henry M. Spofford; Delivered in the Methodist Church in Pulaski, Tenn;; August 24, 1880 Men are representatives of ideas and principles. By some occult law of our nature each man becomes the agent and interpreter of those ideas and principles which, by assimilation, have become a part of his consciousness, and which have been crystallized into his character. Ideas and principles - from whatever system of truth evolved - are valuable to us only as they can become vital in consciousness and character. Hence, the various systems of philosophy and science, as well as the religions and civilizations of men, are valuable and vital only in the character they produce, and the comfort and culture they bring; and the ultimate value of each human life is to be estimated by the grade of character it produces, and the extent of its usefulness. If it be true that each material thing has its celestial side, its translation through humanity into the spiritual and the invisible, how much grander the truth that the spiritual and the divine have their translation through the higher forms of human character into the visible kingdom of God, converting fallen men into sons of God and heirs of everlasting life! Looking thus at human life, we are profoundly affected when its earthly biography closes, and its product is before us in the highest type of representative character. If we study the personal history, and measure the great achievements of a successful life, it is that we may rightly estimate the character, and possess ourselves, for practical uses, of the ideas and principles which the character represents and interprets for us.
