Excerpt from Rev. John Alexander Roche: Autobiography and Sermons Together With the Expressions Elicited by His Death
He was like a child to him who by genius, by sanctity, or by achievements commanded his respect.

Excerpt from Rev. John Alexander Roche: Autobiography and Sermons Together With the Expressions Elicited by His Death
Goodness and greatness cannot be denied posthumous fame. The reverence that the living have ever paid to certain elect spirits among the departed proves that homage to virtue is an instinct, and that immortality is the inheritance of the worthy. The intuition of the race is reflected in a law of the Church. Where the dust of the child is restored to the earth we cut in stone at least the three lines that preserve the name and those dates whereof one tells when the soul entered this order of existence that we call life, and the other when it went hence. With all the more Justice may we seek to preserve the words and to perpetuate the virtues of those that with lifelong efficiency, ability, and consecration served God at his altars and gathered souls into his kingdom.
For many a reason the life and teachings of John A. Roche are entitled to record. He possessed a marked and fascinating personality. His intellectual robustness struck everyone. The freshness and force of his mind were always noble and stimulating.
While open, candid, trustful, and charitable in his judgments, he had strong confidence in his opinions when once formed. He came near to being immovable in his conclusions, especially as to character.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is, in essence, three things; a tribute to a great Methodist minister and scholar, a revealing autobiography of the author, and a thought-provoking exploration of the meaning of genuine religious devotion. John Alexander Roche (1813-1894) began his ministry in Smyrna, Delaware, in 1829 amid the fervour of a great revival. His life's journey would take him to important pulpits in Philadelphia, Brooklyn, and New York City and to the presidency of Drew Theological Seminary, where he taught for 36 years. In this book, Roche provides delightful insights into the 'Old School' Methodism of his youth, and thoughtful personal reflections on the value of books, the power of sermons, and the centrality of faith. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330952825_0
