Excerpt from Memorial Address: Delivered Before the Second Presbyterian Church and Society of Cincinnati It is useful in human life occasionally to pause and review the past. Experience is a wise teacher. Not only the difficulties and successes, the mistakes and the achievements of ourselves, but also of those who have gone before us, are lessons to be studied for our own good. Now and then some crisis in affairs, some transition from old scenes to new, seem to call upon us especially for such review. The benefits of it are not merely the instruction it may impart. But more than this, it serves to keep alive in our hearts our sympathy with our Fathers - with those who have gone before us - to bind together the past and the present generations in bonds of perpetual love. We are about to leave this house in which we have worshiped so long, and to occupy another. To many of us the associations of the place are touching and strong - to all of us they are interesting.
