Tribute to a Good Man Extract from a Sermon Delivered at the Bulfinch-Street Church, Boston, January 9, 1853

Tribute to a Good Man: Extract from a Sermon Delivered at the Bulfinch-Street Church, Boston, January 9, 1853 by F. T. Gray is a poignant 19th-century sermon and eulogy that honors the life and charitable spirit of Amos Lawrence. Anchored in the Apostle Paul's exhortation to "consider what I say" (2 Timothy), Gray contrasts worldly maxims with Christian ideals and celebrates Lawrence as a model of benevolence—the "Poor Man's Christian Friend" whose philanthropy and devotion uplifted Boston’s community and the Young Men's Christian Union. Delivered the Sunday after Lawrence’s interment, the sermon blends personal remembrance, theological reflection, and social context to illuminate how faith translated into practical mercy during the mid-1800s. This audiobook captures the tone of a pastoral tribute and the moral urgency of religious discourse in antebellum New England, offering listeners an intimate window into ecclesiastical life, civic charity, and the networks of Boston philanthropy. Ideal for fans of religious history, historical sermons, devotional literature, and biographies of American philanthropists, this stirring tribute invites reflection on character, service, and faith-driven public life.
