He stands in the desk, that grave old man, With an eye still bright, though his cheek is wan, And his long white locks are backward rolled From his noble brow of classic monld, And his form, though bent by the weight of years, Somewhat of its primal beauty wears. He opens the page of the Sacred Word; Not a whisper, nor low nor loud, is heard; Even folly assumes a serious look, As he readeth the words of the Holy Book; And the thoughtless and gay grow reverent there As he opens his lips in fervent prayer. He stands as the grave old prophet stood, Proclaiming the truth of the living God; Pouring reproof on the ears of men Whose hearts are at ease in their folly and sin, With a challenge of guilt still unforgiven To the soul unfitted, unmeet for heaven. Oh, who can but honor that good old man, As he neareth his threescore years and ten, Who hath made it the work of his life to bless Our world in its woe and wiekedness, Still guiding the few, who were wont to stray In the paths of sin, to the narrow way T.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an inspiring historical biography of Reverend Peter Labagh, a dedicated and hardworking minister of the Reformed Dutch Church in the late 18th-early 19th centuries. The author draws upon Labagh's personal writings including his family register to present an accessible and accurate account of his life, work, and the religious context of his time. Born in New York City in 1773 to devout parents, Labagh's early life was marked by his family's flight from the city during the Revolutionary War. He later studied Latin, theology, and served as a minister in various locations. In 1796 he was ordained as a missionary to emigrants and pioneers in Kentucky, a perilous journey that he undertook with the full support of his dedicated mother. Labagh's life and career provide a fascinating glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of religious life in the early United States.
