The faithful servant

Edward Horae, the Irish Anglican priest of the 19th century, preached this sermon on the death of Rev. Stephen Langston. He talks about his thoughts on death and says a heartfelt goodbye to the late priest.
Excerpt
"There is something very solemn in the death of any one, but peculiarly solemn in the death of a minister of God; for when he dies, he resigns not his life only, but his ministry. He gives back the ministerial trust committed to him. So, our revered, and honoured friend, has not merely fallen asleep in the Lord Jesus; but he has, as it were, handed back to Him who gave it the sacred stewardship of God's ministry committed to him by God."
