«Жизнь Джеймса Бьюкенена, пятнадцатого Президента США. Том 2»

Всё это, однако, как очень хорошо понимал сам мистер Бьюкенен, не дотягивало до того, что требовалось, чтобы стать христианином в полном смысле этого слова; и по мере того как он продвигался по жизненному пути, он, судя по всему, всё серьезнее задумывался о необходимости следовать за Спасителем более сокровенным и строгим путем. В такое практическое ученичество он, по его собственному мнению, в некоторой степени вступил за годы до того, как отошел от политической жизни. Тем не менее он не делал тогда открытого исповедания своей веры в форме того, что обычно зовется присоединением к церкви, руководствуясь соображением, что в его особом положении общественного деятеля существовали некие причины для отсрочки этого шага. Эта идея, разумеется, была серьезным заблуждением, что он впоследствии и сам признал, когда с ним серьезно завели об этом разговор. Ему следовало присоединиться к церкви раньше, говорил он, и особенно до отъезда из Вашингтона. Как бы то ни было, этот важный шаг он совершил в свое время позднее, после долгих и серьезных размышлений, формально примкнув к пресвитерианской церкви Ланкастера, которая и раньше была местом его постоянного богослужения, где он продолжал молиться впоследствии и в общении с которой он ныне отошел в мир иной, «ожидая всеобщего воскресения в последний день и жизни будущего века».

Для меня было честью часто беседовать с ним на религиозные темы в эти его последние годы, и я могу сказать, что его ум казался всегда ясным и на удивление твердым, равно как и последовательным в восприятии христианства в его простейшей и наиболее общепризнанной евангельской форме. Мне позволено заявить, что он внимательно изучал Гейдельбергский катехизис (самое экуменическое и в некоторых отношениях наиболее проникновенное из всех Реформатских протестантских исповеданий), и он привык всегда отзываться о нем с высокой похвалой как о своде религиозных истин, под которым он мог бы от всего сердца подписаться как под полным выражением своей богословской веры.

Однако особенно минувшим летом мне представилась возможность наиболее близко познакомиться с его христианскими взглядами и упованиями по случаю его возвращения домой из Кейп-Мей после приступа странной болезни, которая в тот момент грозила свести его в могилу. Недуг сопровождался лишь незначительными физическими болями и оставлял его сознание абсолютно чистым и свободным, в то же время порождая в его собственной душе твердое убеждение, что болезнь закончится его смертью. В этих торжественных обстоятельствах я какое-то время изо дня в день виделся с ним, беседуя и молясь вместе с ним как с умирающим человеком; при этом он и сам предельно откровенно рассуждал о своем состоянии, выражая свои мысли и чувства так, что это служило самым убедительным и приятным свидетельством того, что религия стала для него поищем глубоко укоренившимся в душе принципом и столь твердым убеждением веры, которое не могли поколебнуть ни силы земли, ни врата ада. Достаточно сказать здесь, что он сумел с полной сыновней уверенностью и доверием предать себя в руки Бога как верного Творца и Спасителя и обрел в Нем вседостаточную помощь во время нужды. В то же время его вера была гораздо большим, чем просто смутное упование на общую благость и милосердие Божие. Это была несомненно смиренная, раскаявшаяся надежда человека, осознававшего себя грешником, на милость Божию, дарованную людям через Его Сына Иисуса Христа. Именно тогда, больше чем прежде, он воочию увидел и прочувствовал важность простого обращения к Иисусу (в духе Евангелия от Иоанна и Апостольского Символа веры) как к самой сути и содержанию всего христианского спасения. Его разум с особым интересом ухватился за слова: «Господи! к кому нам идти? Ты имеешь глаголы вечной жизни: и мы уверовали и познали, что Ты Христос, Сын Бога живаго».

В целом это был опыт смертного одра, полный безмятежного света и мира, тихий вечерний закат долгой жизни, который сам по себе казался лишь лучезарным обещанием новой и гораздо лучшей жизни по ту сторону могилы.

Его недавняя болезнь, закончившаяся теперь его смертью, истощала его и телесно, и духовно гораздо сильнее, чем та, о которой я только что упомянул. Тем не менее во время всего этого недуга его взгляды и чувства в отношении религии, как он заявлял в преддверии расстания с миром, оставались ровно такими же, какими он прежде многократно наблюдал их у себя. Он с полным смирением склонился перед волей своего Небесного Отца. Последним внятным словом его — шепотом произнесенным на ухо склонившейся над ним любящей и тревожной сестры, когда его несколько болезненно повернули на постели и он, вне всякого сомнения, почувствовал, что конец пришел (после чего он погрузился в мягкий сон, завершивший сцену несколько часов спустя), — была короткая христианская молитва: «О Господи, Боже Всемогущий, да будет воля Твоя!» Так он отошел в мир иной. Его упование покоилось на Христе распятом и воскресшем из мертвых, и исключительно на Христе. Он умер в непоколебимой вере евангельской и в радостной надежде на то, что в конце концов примет участие в воскресении тела и в жизни вечной.

Он почивает в Иисусе. Да будет это его эпитафией; последней и венчающей почестью его долгой, славнейшей жизни; богатейшим украшением его публичной и не менее чем частной памяти и имени. Да послужит это также утешением его опечаленным друзьям, когда они смотрят на этот почтенный величественный образ, покоящийся здесь перед нами на возвышении, и призваны теперь следовать за ним в медленной скорбной процессии к могиле. Мы не скорбим, как прочие, не имеющие надежды; ибо если Иисус умер и воскрес, то и умерших в Иисусе Бог приведёт с Ним. Престарелый государственный деятель отошел к своим отцам в преклонных летах, подобно снопу пшеницы, полностью созревшему и полному плодов; он хорошо послужил своей стране и в свое время в полной мере вкусил её почести; он оставил после себя прекрасный пример справедливости, благожелательности, честности и правдивости, яркую летопись достойного и во всех отношениях добродетельного характера. Во всем этом мы находим предмет для благодарного удовлетворения и повод склониться в кротком смирении перед Божественной волей, которая теперь окончательно скрыла его от наших глаз. Но превыше всего этого, в то же время, мы ликуем и радуемся как христиане тому, что, как мы знаем, было его христианской кончиной, и той уверенности, которую мы благодаря этому обретаем в том, что он по-прежнему с нами и близок к нам — во Христе.

Которому давайте вознесем теперь нашу общую и искреннюю благодарность за ту победу над смертью и могилой, которую Он одержал ради нас и всех почивающих в Нем; одновременно моля о силе следовать вере предшествовавших нам, «дабы мы при смерти вошли в их радость и так пребывали с ними в покое и мире, пока и они, и мы не достигнем общего завершения искупления и блаженства в славном воскресении последнего дня». Аминь.

Останки Джеймса Бьюкенена покоятся на прекрасном сельском кладбище близ города Ланкастер, под скромным монументом, на котором высечены лишь даты его рождения и смерти, а также указание на то, что он являлся пятнадцатым Президентом Соединенных Штатов. Символично, что земля Пенсильвании хранит его прах, ибо он был самым выдающимся государственным деятелем, которого эта великая земля подарила на службе стране со времени учреждения Конституции Соединенных Штатов.
