Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reminiscences: Of Baptist Churches and Baptist Leaders in New York City and Vicinity, From 1835-1898 The following reminiscences of Baptist history in the metropolis are so lucidly written that the only introduction needed is a word of friendly appreciation. The writer makes no claim to original and scientific research, but he may justly claim intimate association with most of our church leaders for the past sixty years. And while he would be the last to say quorum pars magna fui, I may be allowed to say for him that no man among us has been more alert to the conditions of church life in this city, or has rendered more devoted service, than himself. America is usually impatient of archives and documents. Its face is toward the future and the sunrise. Consequently we are sadly lacking in the historic sense, and in breadth of view. "In to-day already walks to-morrow," said Coleridge. True; but in yesterday once walked to-day; and no man is competent to guide the church to-day unless he knows the church of yesterday. The causes of our present strength, the reasons for present weakness, all lie deep rooted in the years that are gone.
