Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Annual Address to the Convention by the Bishop of the Diocese of Illinois, September, 1856 Brethren, Beloved, of the Clergy and Laity: There is solemn impression in each recurring season of annual conference. It is the close of a cycle in our ministerial lives; and we "give it voice" as the burial toll of the past and gone. Another diocesan year has ended, with its labours and cares, comparatively easy to forget; its sins and omissions which we cannot and dare not. Each one has reviewed and gathered up his year´s work; and, I am sure, many have sighed over the poor results, and resolved, as we closed the page of record, that next year should witness more earnest devotion to our Heavenly calling. Some have done it with springing hope; but not all. As we thus come together face to face, many on whom we look - as well as the absence of those on whom we shall look no more - remind us of the wearing lapse of time; of the brevity of our working day; the rapid progress of its hurrying hours. It is good sometimes to look back, (as a large portion of us are obliged to do,) on the ardent zeal of our youth; the high hopes hardly made modest, with which we passed the threshold of the ministry; the confidence, (shall 1 say, rash,) that the world, the Church and ourself must necessarily grow demonstrably better; - and now contrast it with the experience of real life: the great failure of the whole romance of tho young Melanethon.
