Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hollis Street Church From Mather Byles to Thomas Starr King: 1732-1861; Two Discourses Given The first sermon preached in the Hollis Street Meeting-house, June 18, 1732, was from this text. Dr. Sewall of the Old South Church was the preacher. It was he who "more immediately formed" or organized the church here. He wrote its covenant, dedicated its house of worship with prayer, gave the charge to its first pastor, and laid the hand of ordination upon his head. This first pastor was the Rev. Mather Byles, a gentleman of good ministerial extraction, counting Richard Mather and John Cotton among his ancestors; of University training (having graduated at Harvard College 1725), and of sincere attachment to his chosen calling, and more than common fitness for its duties. The proof of these latter qualifications is in the length and quietness of his pastorate, extending over forty-four years, and in those specimens of his professional compositions which have lived after him in the printed and written word.
