The Memorial Impulse in Religion
The Preacher's Monthly
Genesis 28:18-19
And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar…


I. THE TIME, PLACE, AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF A MAN'S DISCOVERY OF GOD IN HIS LIFE ARE THE MOST MEMORABLE IN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

II. WITH SUCH A DISCOVERY, THERE ALWAYS RISES AN IMPULSE TO SET UP SOME LANDMARK FOR MEMORY.

III. THE BEST MEMORIALS ARE THOSE WHICH RISE UP IN A MAN'S HABITS AND CHARACTER.

(The Preacher's Monthly.)
