Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sermons Preached in the Church of Our Saviour, Jenkintown, Pa The proper disposal of the MSS. which constitute these sermons, has been a subject of anxious thought. They were written, and preached for the most part in Jenkintown, Pa., where, nearly twelve years ago, the Rev. Richard Francis Colton, then in the first ardor of youth, came to minister as Rector in the Church of Our Saviour. Combining with his parish duties the Professorship of Hebrew in the Divinity School at West Philadelphia, he lived his quiet student life away from the city, adding day by day to the vast intellectual store that made him emphatically "a scholar, and a ripe and good one." He had been ordained to the Diaconate in the Church of the Atonement in Philadelphia, on the 21st of February, 1866, and officiated in that church until June, 1867, as Assistant to the Rev. Benjamin Watson, D. D. When, after a few hours´ illness, on the 28th of July, 1880, it was known that he had been taken away, all in his parish felt it to be a personal loss. It seemed impossible to associate the idea of death with that bright, genial nature that carried an atmosphere of health wherever he went. To those of his congregation who knew him best, these pages will need no explanation. They will reiterate with new force, as of a voice from the dead, their message of earnest appeal to duty, and their keen appreciation of the sorrows and the struggles that he had so often shared in sympathy.
