Death disarmed of its sting : $b A tribute to the memory of the Hon. Roger Minott Sherman, being the discourse preached at his funeral, January 2, 1845

A solemn yet uplifting address delivered at the funeral of a respected civic leader, this work presents a pastor’s heartfelt tribute that weaves together personal remembrance and timeless Christian doctrine. Beginning with the familiar biblical query “O death, where is thy sting?” the speaker guides listeners through a thoughtful meditation on how faith reframes mortality, portraying death not as an end but as a transition made hopeful by Christ’s victory over sin.

The discourse balances theological depth with clear, compassionate language, explaining the relationship between sin, law, and the perceived sting of death while offering reassurance that grace dissolves that penalty. Listeners will hear a vivid 19th‑century perspective on hope, redemption, and the promise of eternal life, all articulated with the reverence and eloquence befitting a public memorial.
