Description:Excerpt from A Brief History of the Last Three Pastorates of the First Parish in Dedham, 1860-1888: A Sermon Preached November 11, 1888Tell your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation. - Joel, i: 8.The history of this parish during its first seven pastor ates, covering a period of two hundred and twenty-two years, has been written with a fulness and ability which, however much might be desired, leave little to be supplied. For the commemoration of the two hundredth anniver sary of the gathering of the church, my predecessor, Dr. Lamson, prepared with painstaking care three ser mons, in which, and in the notes to which, was told not only the story of this parish but the religious his tory of the town, to the beginning of his own pastorate in 1818. On the fortieth anniversary of his settlement, Dr. Lamson continued the history in a sermon, supplemented at the time of his resignation, in 1860, by another, in which was told most that is given a later generation to know of his long and fruitful ministry. We have also had prepared an interesting and valuable biographical sketch of Dr. Lamson, which, with other matter, we have printed in a small book entitled, The First Church in Dedham. These sermons, with this biographical sketch, make together a very complete history of what is of most interest in the religious life of this parish during something more than six generations.It is not my purpose to retell a story which has been told so well, but in taking leave of the period and of its names of blessed memory, we may be allowed to bear testimony to the reverent and loving appreciation in which the name of Dr. Lamson is still held by the generation that knew him in the ﬂesh, and by the later generation that is not without some knowledge of his gifts. He was a man of most lovable nature; he was our best patristic scholar, is the testimony of one of his intimate and scholarly associates.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
