Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address Delivered at the Ordination of the Rev. William Newell: As Pastor of the First Parish in Cambridge, May 19, 1830 The solemn services are ended, by which our young brother has been inducted into the sacred office, and invested with the charge of the spiritual interests of this church and congregation. You, my friends, have a new pastor, and to him is committed for the first time the care of a Christian flock. The connexion thus formed is of a most serious and interesting nature; - serious, from its permanency; for it is a connexion which death alone, or some event no less to be deplored, shall sever; - more serious, from the momentous consequences that may result from the faithful or ill discharge of this holy trust, not only to him and to each one of you, but to the great cause of Christian truth and virtue. It is interesting, from the new relations it involves, and the mutual duties it creates; - interesting to you, who thus intrust to youthful hands the keeping of your dearest interests, the direction of your public devotions, and the moral and religious instruction of yourselves and your children; - peculiarly interesting to your pastor. This day is to him a most eventful one. It marks an incident in his life, than which, long and diversified as that life may be, it can bring with it none more important or affecting. He has been set apart and ordained, according to the simple and impressive rites adopted by our forefathers, to dispense unto you the words of eternal life; to be your religious teacher, your spiritual guide, your counsellor, your comforter, your friend.
