A Good Old Age is a sermon written by Ezra Stiles Gannett and delivered at the Federal Street Meetinghouse in Boston on January 24, 1847. The sermon was occasioned by the death of John Davis, and it aims to provide comfort and guidance to those who are facing the end of their lives. Gannett argues that a good old age is one that is characterized by faith, hope, and love, and he draws on biblical passages and personal anecdotes to illustrate his points. The book is a reflection on the nature of life, death, and the afterlife, and it offers a message of hope and encouragement to those who are approaching the end of their journey. It is a poignant and thought-provoking work that speaks to the universal human experience of mortality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
