Book Description
Excerpt from A Century of Congregationalism in Ohio, 1796-1896 We cannot at all afford to suffer the anniversaries of great events to pass by without careful observance. They bring so much of peculiar privilege and opportunity, so much also of especial responsibility and obligation. It is the part of the highest wisdom to use them to the utmost, both for instruction and exhortation, for encouragement and warning. They supply fit occasions for reminiscence and forecast, they help us so to sum up and set forth the past as to send us forward with new inspiration and added increments of spiritual power. In particular this centennial year demands wide spread and varied celebration in our churches. For it recalls one of the notable events in the progress of the Kingdom of God in this land, and one of the most momentous in the history of our denomination It not only marks the beginning of civilization, of democracy, of Christianity in the entire Northwest from Pennsylvania to the Pacific, but it stands for the founding of the mother Congregational church in a vast region which already contains fully half of our ecclesiastical inheritance. Our center of population is steadily moving westward, is likely soon to cross the Mississippi; and already not Boston, but Chicago is the metropolis of our Zion. With wise prescience, three years since our State Association began preparation by choosing a committee to act with a similar committee appointed by the Ohio Church History Society in preparing a suitable program for a celebration worthy of the unique occasion. The result appeared a few days ago when in Marietta, at a joint meeting of the two bodies, were read a noble list of papers upon appropriate themes. Besides, at their meetings during the weeks just preceding, the various local Conferences gave marked prominence to centennial topics. In the meantime the Executive Committee of the Ohio Home Missionary Society had been diligently considering how so to keep the feast that a much needed quickening might come to our spiritual life as a denomination, especially as touching zeal and giving and toil in behalf of aggressive operations, and pushing of our ideas and principles in localities where they are wholly unknown. It seemed to be every way desirable that from the Association and the Conferences, to every church and congregation in the state the inspiring and educating influences of the centenary should be carried by addresses of various kinds, which should tell the story of our origin and growth in this commonwealth, the experiences through which our fathers passed, what achievements have been made, and what still remains to be done. And to bring this desirable consummation to pass the more easily and effectually it was thought that an outline history of the century of Congregational ism in Ohio was a teal desideratum.
