Excerpt from Thoughts for the Christian Life
Rev. James Drummond, the author of this volume of sermons, was my pastor during the last three years of his ministry. It is now more than two years since he passed to his reward; and it is sweet to find that memory, which so often grows faint, or proves false, keeps even wing with him in his upward flight, and presents him to me more as he is, with each day's growing glory, than as he was in the feeble days of his earthly life. It is sweet to find the frail and pain-haunted man, who was my friend, brother, teacher, and inspirer, transformed in my imagination into an angel, thrilled by heaven's sublime surprises, and plumed for its painless service. If I saw a defect in him while living, it is now effaced. If he had a quality of mind or a peculiarity of manner which seemed a discord in the heavenly tune his life was singing, I have forgotten it. I can only think of him now as transfigured - as "a perfect man in Christ Jesus."
