Excerpt from A Commemorative Discourse Delivered on the Occasion of Celebrating the Completion of the Tower and Spire of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Brooklyn, L. I., December 19, 1867: With Illustrative Historical NotesThis morning a large assembly was gathered here to cele brate the completion of this edifice. Clergy and people united in public and devout acts of praise and thanksgiving, and the reading of appropriate Scriptures, in testimony to words of appropriate greeting from our Bishop, and from the preacher of the day, a much-loved brother of this city, and the reverent com memoration of the sacrifice and death of Him, without whom there had been no churches for the service and glory of God, and no hope for the world.To-night we are here to continue the formal and public-cele bration of the same auspicious event. We shall do this in a way less impressive and significant, but more demonstrative and jubi lant than that of the morning. Our joy is the same, and the source of it the same, but it will have another channel of utter ance. It has come forth from the inner court and majestic cere monial of worship 3 it has risen from its prostration before the throne of the King of Glory, and would now speak of God's goodness to men through music - the only universal language of the human heart.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
