Overview
Excerpt from Address: At the Celebration of the Two Hundredth Anniversary of the Building of the Old Meeting-House at Hingham; On the Eight of August, 1881I Shall be easily pardoned if today I recall a his tory familiar and dear to many Of you.NO building in the United States is more vener able than this within which we are met. Of all edifices an ancient church is the most reverend. This is the house Of worship in which the weekly service Of prayer and preaching has been for a longer time continuous than in any other in New England, probably than in any other in the United States. For (is, in this still new world, its age is great. But our antiquities are modern as compared with those of our Mother-country; the Oldest of them are Of today in comparison with the Pyra mids; they are novelties in the eternity Of Nature. But the two centuries during which this house has existed are the longest centuries in the history Of mankind, for in their course man has made greater progress in the knowledge Of the world in which he lives, and consequently in power over it, than in all preceding time. His relations to Nature have changed. He has come into possession of new faculties. His thoughts have widened. The denizen of a parish two hundred years ago, the intelligent man is to-day the citizen Of the world. Spiritually measured this little span Of time is longer than cycles of Egypt or Cathay. TO the imagina tion this Meeting-house is the monument of a great antiquity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
