Excerpt from Address Commemorative of Rufus Choate
Between these extremes all men stand. Far the greater number incline to the. Lower of the two; but there are in every age and place the great men of that time, qnd their place is nearer the summit. Assuredly I need not fear that it will be thought to be the language of flattery or panegyric, if it be said that he whose death we have met this day to com ~memorate had his own place among great men. For he was a great man, if eminent abilities, carefully cultivated and industriously exercised, and occupying a large field of action with great labor and great suc cess, and filling a wide and ever widening sphere with his renown, could constitute a claim to great ness. It is many Weeks since he died; but even now distant echoes still reach us, and tell us that his fame at home has gone abroad, and was welcomed and accepted there as true and genuine fame.

Excerpt from Address Commemorative of Rufus Choate
No man dies wholly, even as to this world. When the soul ascends to another sphere of existence, and the body is placed in the earth to mingle with it once more, there is still something which remains with them whom the departing spirit has left, something which has not gone up out of our sight, nor down into the grave to rest in silence, and decay. It is the growth, the flower and the fruit of the seeds the man was planting in the fields of life as he walked through them; it is the influence and effect of his life. For this is a work which every man must do.
