Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Leonard Bacon: Pastor of the First Church in New Haven Leonard Bacon was born February 19, 1802, in Detroit, Michigan, whither his father had gone, under appointment of the Connecticut Missionary Society, to labor among the Indian tribes in that vicinity. Not finding sufficient encouragement in his work, Mr Bacon removed in a short time, with his family, to Tallmadge, in the State of Ohio, at that time a wilderness. Here he died, and his eldest son was at the age of ten years placed under the care of an uncle at Hartford, in this State, where he pursued the usual studies preparatory to entering college. He joined the class which was graduated at Yale College in 1820, in the Sophomore year, in which he sustained a good reputation as a scholar, and especially for literary and forensic ability. After graduation his theological studies were pursued at Andover, Massachusetts, where his talents were conspicuous. He was ordained, as an Evangelist, by the Hartford North Consociation, September 28, 1824, at their meeting held at Windsor, it being his intention do find a field of labor; it the West. Just at this moment he received an invitation to preach to the First Church in New Haven, which invitation he accepted, and the pulpit was supplied by him for several successive Sabbaths.
