Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Collected Works of Theodore Parker, Minister of the Twenty-Eight Congregational Society at Boston, U. S, Vol. 3: Containing His Theological, Polemical, and Critical Writings, Sermons, Speeches, and Addresses, and Literary Miscellanies
But there is another class of men so great, that all can not see their greatness. They are in advance of men's conjectures, higher than their dreams; too good to be actual, think some. Therefore, say many, there must be some mistake; this man is not so great as he seems; nay, he is no great man at all, but an impostor. These men have what is true not merely in relation to the wants and expectations of men here and to-day but what is true in relation to the Universe, to Eternity, to God. They do not speak what you and I have been trying to say, and cannot but what we Shall one day, years hence, wish to say, after we have improved and grown up to man's estate.
