Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Through Three Centuries: Colver and Rosenberger Lives and Times, 1620-1922 Stalwart, intrepid men were those in this line of Colvers. New settlements and small villages, together with farm life, attracted them, but did not completely absorb them. Some of them were particularly distinguished as Indian scouts, and some as soldiers. Then came those who took on more of the character, not only of soldiers, but of sturdy standard-bearers in the cause of righteousness. Devotion to duty and a deep desire to serve others, particularly those in out-of-the-way places, strongly marked them. The better qualities of the Puritan became brighter in them from generation to generation. Take the Nathaniel Colver whose life-story is told at some length. Starting with very little schooling - or as a graduate of a brush heap, as he once quaintly remarked - but filled with the Bible, and possessed of unusual natural ability and eloquence, he became a noted preacher and reformer as well as later a sort of pioneer in ministerial educational work. New England and northeastern New York constituted his first field of activity. Next, it was centered in Boston, where he was the pastoral founder of the Tremont Temple Church. Slavery and intemperance he fought unremittingly and unflinchingly at every turn, even in the face of mobs. Then, in Chicago, he not only had much to do with the founding of, but he gave the first regular theological instruction, at the old University of Chicago, for the Baptist Union Theological Seminary, which is the Divinity School of the University of Chicago of today.
