Excerpt from A Discourse: Commemorative of the Life and Character of Rev. Ralph Randolph Gurley
The future, just Opening before him - its vacant throne, its promises of power and glory, its ambitions and its bloody strifes - is forgotten in the sad present, and in the pleasant memories of his friend - Very pleasant hast thou been unto me, my brother: thy love to me was wonderful. Over all their past relations does the light of this love shine, imparting new sweetness to their past companionship, and a strange mystery to the event which he now deplores.
I am sure that 1 express the sentiment of all your hearts, when I say that our distress at our bereavement to-day is mingled with most pleasant memories of the beloved, brother who has been taken from us.
Rev. Ralph Randolph Gurley was a man of very rare quali ties, both of mind and heart, and his life, protracted through so many years, has been full of scenes of the profoundest interest to himself and the world.
