Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Exercises in Commemoration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Ordination of Rev. James Anderson, as Pastor of the Congregational Church, Manchester, Vt., August 12, 1879
The early history Of many who have occupied the pulpits of the church, gave little promise of their ever becoming preachers Of the gospel. Some like Bunyan, and John Newton, came up from very low depths Of moral degradation, to great and deserved eminence in the Christian ministry.
Saul Of Tarsus, previous to his eventful journey to Damas cus, armed with power and authority from the chief priests to arrest all that should be found calling on the name Of the Lord Jesus, would hardly have been looked upon as one likely to become the great Apostle Of the Gentiles. He was not the last Of the persecutors Of this world that, subdue'd by grace, have given their labor and their lives to the cause they once sought to destroy. After all, the men Of this character form rather the exception, than the rule of selection for the Christ ian ministry.
