Excerpt from An Historical Discourse: Delivered Before the First Congregational Society in Harvard, Massachusetts, October 22, 1882
Still, some of you may consider the discourse which I have prepared for this time and place, better adapted to the platform than the pulpit, nearer in accordance with the teaching of the Lyceum, than those of the sanctuary of worship; still, you will allow me to speak my word as I hold it good, and leave the criticisms that shall come out of it to subsequent consideration.
In accordance with a suggestion of one of your num ber, I propose to discourse upon the past condition of your town in general, your religious society in particular, its present aspects and future prospects, regretting that I am compelled to confine my thoughts and words to the few pages of an ordinary sermon.
