Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Discourse: Delivered at the Hundredth Anniversary of the Organization Second Congregational Church, Norwich, Conn;, July 24, 1860 Brethren and Friends: The record of a hundred years in the history of our Church closes to-day. We have assembled to review this record, to revive the reminiscences of the past, and devoutly recognize in prayer and song the good hand of our God, as revealed to our Fathers in the way in which he led them. The ecclesiastical vine which they planted in this rugged soil, has, amidst alternations of sunshine and storm, matured from weakness to a healthy, vigorous development, and promises to bring forth fruit in old age. Already "she hath sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river." On the hundredth anniversary of this century plant we come together, to sit and commune under her shadow, and render her the tribute of grateful affection, as we rehearse what our fathers have told us of the work of God in their days, in the times of old. A hundred years does not, indeed, produce a very perceptible change in the progress of the shadow on the dial of time, or carry us far into the region of gray antiquity, where history is often merged in the age of fable. But in the fresh life of "Young America," a century reaches to a day of small things in the annals of our ecclesiastical life and civilization.
