Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from In Memoriam: The Sermon, Preached at the Consecration of the Chapel of St. Luke the Beloved Physician, in the Berkeley Divinity School, Middletown, Conn., March XVI, MDCCCLXI
This holy and beautiful House, which has now been solemnly consecrated to the honor and worship Of the Blessed and undivided trinity, is so connected with sacred memories, present uses and future hopes, that it is difficult to say all which I feel Should be said on this occasion, and equally difficult to select any sin gle point for unfolding or enforcement. And yet, I am not sure that these very words, memories of the departed, uses for the present, hopes for the future, are not the truest and best division and arrangement of topics which I could hope to make. Let me, then, give utterance, under these several heads, to some Of the many thoughts that are in my heart to day. And if my words are few and Simple, let the Service and the Temple, in their uttered or unspoken elo quence, more than supply all that shall be lacking.
