Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John Wycliffe and the First English Bible: An Oration This Commemoration, for which the Board of Managers had made the most careful preparation, and to which many had been looking forward with high hopes, proved to be an occasion of unparalleled interest. More than four thousand persons gained admission to the Academy of Music by ticket; and it is quite impossible to conceive how any company of people could be assembled in one place more thoroughly representative of the intellectual force, the culture, the dignity, the moral worth, and the godliness of this vast community than was that body which met, on the evening of the second day of December, to commemorate the work of John Wycliffe as the translator of the First English Bible. Promptly, at the hour designated for opening the exercises, the platform being crowded by the distinguished guests who had been specially invited by the Board to attend, Frederick S. Winston, Esq., one of the senior Vice-Presidents of the Society, in a few well-chosen words, introduced one of his associates in office, the Hon. Joshua L. Chamberlain, of Maine, as the presiding officer of the evening. At the President´s request, the vast assembly rose and united in singing, to the tune of Coronation, the hymn beginning, "All hail the power of Jesus´ name!" It was true worship - reverent, hearty, grand. We do not expect to be more profoundly impressed by any service of song until we are permitted to join the "great multitude, which no man could number." The Rev. G. F. Krotel, D.D., pastor of the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in this city, then read the nineteenth Psalm and the last three verses of the first chapter of Second Peter. Prayer was offered by the Rev. Roswell D. Hitchcock, D.D., LL. D., president of the Union Theological Seminary.
