Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address on the Occasion of the 250th Anniversary of the Settlement of New Haven: April 25th, 1888; Delivered in the Center Church, Before the Congregational Club, April 23d Over the principal entrance to this church an inscription was placed, not many years ago, by one who will long be remembered here with affection, which records the fact that "a company of English Christians, led by John Davenport and Theophilus Eaton, were the founders of New Haven," and that "here they built their first house of worship." Underneath this church, where we are now gathered, reposes their dust; yet their blood is still throbbing in the veins of the men and women who are around us. On the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the landing of that company of English Christians on these shores, we cannot but direct our thoughts to them. The impress of what they did is upon all about us. Even these streets, this Green, so much more spacious and convenient than anything which had been planned on this continent before their time, bear testimony to the enlightened views which they had of what a city should be. Even we ourselves, our conceptions of life, our tastes, our very prejudices, are the result, in no small degree, of ideas of right and of duty which led them to brave the sea and all the dangers of an unknown wilderness. To-day that company of English Christians, - the forefathers of this town, - walk these streets once more.
