Excerpt from Discourses on Various Occasions
It is exactly twenty years this day, since I was ordained pastor of this church, and set for the defence of the Gospel in this place. The transactions of that day, so big with lasting consequences to us all, are as fresh to my mind as though they had occurred but yesterday. The forms of the venerable men, whose hands were laid upon my head in the impressive act of consecration, of Porter, and Harris, and Tuckerman, rise up now distinctly before my mental vision, though they themselves are sleeping in their graves; and the accents of the solemn Charge, uttered by the lips of the eloquent Channing, are still ringing in my ears. These pews, these galleries, these aisles, are again peopled with the crowds that thronged them on that day. The young are here again, though twenty years have made sad havoc with the grace and beauty of their youthful forms.
