4 Advoc. Peace 1 (1841-1842)

handle is hein.journals/wrldaf4 and id is 1 raw text is: ADVOCATE OF PEACE. No. XXIX. JUNE, 1841. EULOGY ON WILLIAM LADD, LATE PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAN PEACE SOCIETY. THE friends of peace meet to-day under circumstances peculiarly afflictive. Death has smitten down the charm of these annual solemnities. His manly form, his coun- tenance ever burning with benignity, his tongue always ready with its captivating eloquence to plead for every cause of God and man, are now mouldering in the grave. Our father and leader, the foinder of our Society, and the champion of our cause, the apostle and martyr of peace, has gone to his final reward, and left us to mourn his sudden, irreparable loss, and gather from his memory fresh motives to zeal in behalf of an object to which his talents, his property and his life were all devoted. A bereavement so great and so recent will hardly allow us to indulge in the exercises common on this occasion. Every eye is turned to the seat that death has left vacant; the mind, in spite of all efforts, is busy with the recollec- tion of what we have lost; nor can our hearts resist the temptation to linger on the sad. yet pleasing theme. Death is a mirror which reflects the hues of heaven to earth; and fain would we gaze till we see once more the full and perfect image of our departed friend. His name, next to the influences he set at work for the good of man- kind, is the richest legacy he has bequeathed us; and we feel that the claims of our cause, and the general expecta- tions of the community, as well as the strong impulses of our own hearts, require us to dwell awhile on the history, character and services of our much lamented President. VOL. IV.-NO. I. 1
