Excerpt from Services and Address at the Funeral of the Late Henry S. Garrett, October 12th, 1867
A Large concourse of the friends of Mr. Garrett, having assembled at his late residence, the Rev. John Leyburn, D. D., his pastor, conducted the funeral services as follows:
"Man"s days are as grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. The wind passeth over it, and it is gone, and the place thereof knoweth it no more.
"When he dieth, he shall carry nothing away. His glory shall not descend after him. As he came, naked shall he return, and shall take nothing of his labor which he may carry away in his hand.
"Make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is, that I may know how frail I am.
"I know that Thou wilt bring me to death, to the house appointed for all living. There is no discharge in that war. There is an appointed time for man upon earth. His days are as the days of an hireling. His days are determined; the number of his months is with Thee.
