Riassunto

Excerpt from A Discourse: Delivered at the Dedication of the Chapel, Built by the Church of the Disciples, Wednesday, March 15, 1848

Church - as it was - as it is - as it ought to be - this subject becomes more and more interesting every year. The tendency of the age draws our minds to ward it; for in all things the present century tends toward union, harmony, synthesis, as plainly as the last century tended to division, individualism, analysis. We see this in the material world, in those inventions which make the inhabitants of the Atlantic coast a neighbor to the dweller on the Andes. We notice it in science, in the universal disposition to look at the alogies and harmonies of the Universe, and to trace one Plan running through the thousandfold varieties of Nature. In industrial life we seek for Combined Labor, where formerly Division of Labor was the watchword. So in religion, the Church Question; that is, the question of Christian Union and Coopera tion is beginning to have an especial interest. Men are growing weary of an excessive Individualism. They feel the loneliness of a merely independent thought and action. They say with the Poet.
