Synopsis
Excerpt from The Old and the New, 1743-1876: The Second Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia; Its Beginning and Increase
The mystic seed of truth may be small as a mustard seed, but, like it, will grow into trees in whose branches the birds of heaven may light, or make forests from which cities shall be built. Cities rise and spread from the Indian's wig wam or the hunter's cabin. Churches grow from prayer meetings in a private house, or mission schools in a neglected neighborhood. The most powerful organizations have their infancy and growth. The beginning of the Second Church lies far back, and for its real origin we must inquire of the former age, and search among the fathers. The organized church life began in seventeen hundred and forty-three, but the causes which resulted in its organization must be sought still farther away.
