Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Discourse on the Life and Services of Professor Moses Stuart: Delivered in the City of New-York, Sabbath Evening, January 25, 1852 The circumstances in which this discourse was prepared, are best explained by the following resolutions, adopted 17th January, 1852, at the weekly meeting of an association of more than thirty clergymen, Professors in the Union Theological Seminary, Pastors of Churches, Secretaries of Religious Societies, and others; which association includes, in its past or present membership, with the exception of two or three, all the alumni of Andover in the cities of New-York, Brooklyn, and Williamsburgh. For many years, Mr. Stuart had been accustomed in his visits to the city to meet this circle of brethren; and very recently had been in affectionate correspondence with them in reference to matters of common interest. Resolved, 1. That we have heard with profound sorrow, that the Rev. Moses Stuart, Professor of Sacred Literature in the Andover Theological Seminary, is numbered no more with the living; and we deem it fitting, in view as well of his estimable and exalted character, and the prominent position he occupied in the religious world, as of the various intimate and endearing relations many of us have sustained to him, that we should take some special notice of his decease. Resolved, 2. That in the death of Professor Stuart, the church and the world have sustained no ordinary loss. To a native simplicity, ardor, generosity, and transparency of character, he added, in large measure. the loftier graces of the Christian, - a deep reverence, especially, for the oracles of God, and a disposition to magnify, both in doctrine and in life, the cross of Christ. In his early labors as a pastor, he was eminently able, faithful, and successful; as many seals of his ministry, on earth and in heaven, bear witness.
