Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Discourses Preached in the Church of the Advent, Boston, on Sunday, October 19, 1851 And this sympathy is stronger, as we rise from inanimate to animated nature. The beasts of the earth sympathize with the heavens and the earth, with each other, and with man. How evident are the tokens of joy which they exhibit in fine weather, and of distress in anticipation of a storm! In their own afflictions, they often put to shame human beings, mourn over sufferings which they cannot re move, and have been even known to die withanguish after separation. How perfect is their sym pathy with man! How humble their obedience! How faithful their affection! How often do they repay a 'word of kindness by a look of love, which leaps out of their eyes, and, like the dumb man's eloquence, wants not words.
