Excerpt from Memorial Tributes: A Compend of Funeral Addresses; An Aid for Pastors; A Book of Comfort for the Bereaved
There are many ministers, who, like the present writer, have been censured for statements made over the dead when they carefully guarded their testimony and avowedly confined it to the record of their own inter course with the deceased; and some, who have had hearers take their departure because enough was not said in eulogy of their buried kindred. Such things must probablv be expected in the complications of a society, partly Christianized, and largely in¿uenced by conventional usage. A true minister can only try to maintain in himself a conscience void of offence, and at the same time avoid the giving of just offence to others.
The Rev. Dr. Sanderson, in undertaking to aid young ministers, has two elements of encouragement in the at tempt. The first is that he has been himself an active pastor, and understands the work to be done. The second is, that not wholly relying on his own judgment, he avails himself of the labors of others, who have secured the confidence of the Christian community.
