Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Two Pageants: A Discourse Delivered in the First Eng; Evan; Lutheran Church, Pittsburgh, Pa;, Thursday, June 1st, 1865
And the second day, April 22, 1865 - Where stood the nation then? The awful cloud had been rifted and rolled back upon itself. The doubts and anguish of four dreary years had been dispelled - the right arm of conspiracy had been broken - the tiger that couched was crouching; visions of peace, bliss, purity, freedom, unity, such as we had never enjoyed, were before us. The Red Sea Whose waves of blood had lain full in our path, had opened - the nation had passed through, and looked back upon the wrecks of guilty ambition, floated up on the shores, or still whirling among the meeting waves. But the voice of praise was mute. The soft, low murmurs of sadness stirred like the whispering winds in the tops of the dark pines the tears of strong men fell with the sad wail of music the heavy pacetold of the heavv heart; and the flag of the free drooped in its bond of black. It was a day of sadness, when there seemed so much to make us glad. A horror of great darkness had fallen upon an exultant land. Triumph walked in the train of mourners, with ashes on her head; and Peace, with Sadness by her side, wept such tears as war had never wrung from her. Over the pale form of the great Departed, Freedom and Unity had fallen, fainting in each others arms in the hour of victory. A whole nation, in the first anguish of an unspeakable loss, felt as if all that had been won, had been won at too dear a price, in the forfeit of that one precious life.

Excerpt from The Two Pageants: A Discourse Delivered in the First Eng; Evan; Lutheran Church, Pittsburgh, Pa;, Thursday, June 1st, 1865
In that historic and beautiful city of our State, in which our National Independence spoke, in her first perfect articulation, to listening nations, the form of him to whose memory we hallow this day of mourning was surrounded with the pageant of two great occasions. On both those days, thousands thronged the streets; on both, the strains of music floated on the air; on both, the measured step of soldier and sailor fell like an audible pulse upon the ear; on both, the flag of our country was lifted above men; on both, the centre toward which every eye and every heart turned was the same. Yet how different were the days! On the first, February 21st, 1861, darkness was on the heart of the nation: our (lag had been dishonored - a wild, but as yet undefined fear, had risen in the midst of national prosperity and of happiness, which had been too rapturous and intoxicating to endure, and a long, low growl, as of some couching beast of blood, was making the hearts of men grow cold.
