Rt. Hon. Lord Rothschild

Excerpt from The Rt. Hon. Lord Rothschild: Memorial Sermon The Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart; and the Lord hath appointed him leader of his people. I Samuel xiii.14. Woe to the generation that does not worthily mourn the loss of a great and good man, say our Teachers. It is in obedience to this solemn warning against ingratitude towards the righteous who have departed this world, that we are to-day assembled in this House of Worship. At such a Service it is usual that the life of him to whose memory it is consecrated shall be reviewed. As, however, the story of the remarkable career just ended is now well-known to all, I need only trace its lesson and significance within and without the House of Israel. And 1 hope to do so by means of the Scripture text I have read: "The Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart; and the Lord hath appointed him leader of his people."
