Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Oxford Movement in America: Or Glimpses of Life in an Anglican Seminary From Law to Divinity. - Presbyterians in a Quandary. - My Location and Surroundings at the Seminary. - Evangelical Friends in the City. In the summer of 1842 I was a practising lawyer in Rochester, N. Y., being the junior member of the firm of Chapin & Walworth. Our office was in a second story front room of the Smith Block, so-called, in Main Street, and directly facing the principal hotel in that city. We were doing a good business and I liked my profession well enough. About that time, however, my mind had been turned towards religion more steadfastly than ever before. I felt growing up within me a strong desire to devote myself entirely to the church. I opened my mind on this subject to the Rev. Dr. Whitehouse, then rector of St. Luke´s, and afterwards Bishop of Illinois. I was a member of St. Luke´s choir, and a teacher in the Sunday-school, and was strongly attached to the rector. He encouraged me to follow my inclination, as being both rational and deeply settled, and wrote a letter for me to Bishop De Lancey recommending me as a candidate for orders in his diocese. Neither my father nor any of my friends made any serious opposition to my purpose, and it was carried into speedy execution. My father´s personal library of law-books, a large and fine collection, was sent home to him forthwith; and when I parted with these very little of law remained with me. I myself returned to the family residence at Saratoga Springs, to wait for the opening of the next term of the General Theological Seminary in New York City.
