Music Hall Discourses PDF Download

Excerpt from Music Hall Discourses, Miscellaneous Sketches, Ministerial Notes, and Prison Incidents Henry Morgan was bom in Newtown, Ct., March 7th, 1825. At the age of four years he lost his father, who was an inn-keeper, and who left but little for the support of the family. The family consisted of a mother and two sons. The elder son was brought up by the family of a relative, but Henry, during his boyhood, remained with his mother, and received from her the formation of his character. In a cold snow-storm in the month of December, three persons might be seen leaving the large white house, out of which they were ejected by the debts of the father, to seek shelter in a single room of a neighbor's dwelling. A cold day was that-one of the coldest of a severely cold winter. The banks were high, and the winds blew, and as the cutting blasts pierced that thin-clad company, it seemed to say, - "There is but little charity in this cold, heartless world." Through the drifting snow the mother led the way, and the children followed. The younger boy, brave beyond his years, as he battled with the opposing elements, and strove to keep his little entangled feet above the snow, seemed to say - " Mother, do not cry. I shall be bigger by and by, and then you shall not suffer." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
