Excerpt from The Memories of the Past: A Sermon, Preached by the Rev. William R. De Witt, to His Congregation, Harrisburgh, Pa., On the Seventieth Anniversary of His Birth-Day, and in the Forty-Fourth Year of His Ministry in That Congregation
The days of our years are threescore years and ten - Psalm, xc. 10.
Such is the ordinary limit of human life on earth. By far the greatest part of our race die before they reach it. Very few, indeed, live beyond it. Since I last ad~ dressed you from this pulpit I have passed this boundary. I am now in the seventyzfirst year of my earthly life and in the forty-fourth of my ministry in this congre-e gation, as its spiritual teacher and pastor. There are reflections suggested and memories awakened by the occasion, that may not be uninteresting or unprofitable to which I invite your attention.
