O knihe

Excerpt from Frederick Newman Knapp, Sixth Minister of the First Parish in Brookline 1847 1855: A Sermon Preached in the First Parish Meeting House November 22, 1903

He went with some uneasiness, however, for those were troublesome times in the ecclesiastical life of New England. Scarcely ten years had passed since Emerson had cast his Divinity School Address into the still waters of conservative Unitarianism, and the circles that followed the splash were still widening and washing against study-doors when Theodore Parker, three years later, threw in his South Boston sermon. Transcendentalism was in the air. The young candidates were as carefully quarantined by their elders as they had been by theirs a generation before. Dr. Pierce was of the most conservative type, and it was a great relief to hear from the lips of this young friend sentiments that coincided with his own. Here, then, was the young Elisha on whose shoulders the gown of the sturdy Elijah might safely fall. He preached as a candidate four Sundays, July 18 to Aug. 8, inclusive. It all comes back to me now.
