Excerpt from The Memory of the Just: A Memorial Discourse, Preached December 6th, 1857, on the Occasion of the Death of Mrs. Abigail Hopkins
Prov. VI. 7. - The Memory of the Just is Blessed.
The true import of these words, both as it respects the persons spoken of, and what is said of them, may be readily ascertained by noticing the contrasted idea in the words of the succeeding clause - "but the name of the wicked shall rot."
The just are the righteous, the godly, the good, who in their lifetime have humbly and faithfully striven according to their means, and the light afforded them, to serve God and their generation. They are the opposites of the wicked. The word just, as a term descriptive of human character, suggests the idea of a life governed and squared by the rules contained in the holy scriptures. In its evangelical sense, it expresses more particularly the state of those who by repentance for sin, and by faith bearing fruit unto obedience, have found favor with God and been accepted of Him through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Yet in all cases it describes character, and the image before our minds, when just persons are spoken of in the Bible, is that of persons walking in the fear of the Lord, and doing that which is right before Him, both in their relations to Him and to their fellow creatures.
"The memory of the just is blessed." They are remembered with reverent affection after they are dead. The grave does not hide them from the tender recollection of survivors, but the love of the living follows them, and they sweetly sleep in beds softened and hallowed by the tears and grateful applauses of those whom they have left behind them on the earth.
Two ideas are especially prominent in the text.
The first is, that the memory of the just shall endure.
