Excerpt from Address of Rev. Joseph P. Thompson, D.D., On the Life and Character of Mrs. Sarah Abbott Bridgman: Monday Morning, December 12th, 1870Both personally, and as a pastor, I am indebted to this dear lamb of my ¿ock as to few others, for showing by her winning example, the spiritual life in harmony with all that is beautiful and lovable in the natural life and in the world around us, or rather, for making all that is most rare, refined, and exquisite, - beauty of person, grace of manner, brightness of intelligence, tenderness of sentiment, delicacy of taste, - the fit expression of the inner life of purity and devotion, the life hid with Christ in God. Enjoying nature, enjoying art, enjoying music, enjoying books, enjoying ¿owers, enjoying society, yet carrying into all that God permits us to enjoy, the quiet enthusiasm of child-like delight in Him.
