About this title

Synopsis

This is a transcription of the original sermon delivered by John Brodhead Wentworth following the death of President Abraham Lincoln. Delivered initially at St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal Church, and then repeated at the Lafayette St. Presbyterian Church in Buffalo, this discourse reflects the immediate grief and shock felt by the nation. Wentworth's words offer a glimpse into the public mourning and the religious interpretations of Lincoln's assassination in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War. The text provides valuable insight into the social and spiritual climate of the time, capturing the sentiments and beliefs of a community grappling with profound loss and uncertainty.
