Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Historical Sermon on "Presbyterianism in Lawrence": Preached in the First Presbyterian Church on the 2d Sabbath of April, 1887 Text: Deuteronomy viii, 2. "And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God hath led thee." More than a year ago a resolution was adopted by our Session, requesting me to prepare and present to the congregation a history of the First Presbyterian Church of Lawrence, from its organization to the present time. When, some time afterward, I was led definitely to contemplate the approaching close of my connection with the Church as its Pastor, I concluded that a historical discourse, such as the Session desired, might fittingly be preached on the last Sabbath of my pastorate. With this idea before me, I have availed myself of what little leisure I could command, in order to gather up the necessary materials for the sermon in prospect. The thought, meanwhile, more than once occurred to me that it was a pity such a discourse could not be preached in connection with the anniversary of the Church´s organization. But the date of that event was not discoverable from any existing records of the Church; nor could it be ascertained from the minutes of the Presbytery. On last Tuesday, however, I was reading carefully for the first time, a letter kindly furnished me some weeks ago by the Rev. William Wilson, the minister who presided at the organization of the Church, communicating his recollections of its early history; and you may imagine my surprise at finding that that very day, on which I was thus reading Mr. Wilson´s letter, Tuesday, April the 5th, was the Church´s birthday! So, without the least purpose or effort on my part, has it been brought about, by what seems an exceedingly striking coincidence, that our memorial service is as near the true anniversary as it conveniently could be, coming, as it does, on the first Sabbath following.
