Gradually, after taking up his pastorate, he gained greater and greater See also:influence in his See also:denomination, until he came to be regarded as perhaps the most prominent Congregationalist of his See also:- TIME (0.

time, and was sometimes popularly referred to as " The Congregational See also:Pope of New England." In all the heated theological controversies of the See also:day, particularly the See also:long and See also:bitter one concerning the views put forward by Dr See also:Horace See also:Bushnell, he was conspicuous, using his influence to bring about See also:harmony, and in the See also:councils of the Congregational churches, over two of which, the See also:Brooklyn councils of 1874 and 1876, he presided as See also:moderator, he manifested See also:great ability both as a debater and as a parliamentarian. In his own theological views he was broad-minded and an See also:advocate of liberal orthodoxy. In all matters concerning the welfare of his community or the nation, moreover, he took a deep and See also:constant See also:interest, and was particularly identified with the See also:temperance and See also:anti-slavery movements, his services to the latter constituting probably the most important See also:work of his See also:life. In this, as in most other controversies, he took a moderate course, condemning the apologists and defenders of slavery on the one See also:hand and the Garrisonian extremists on the other. His Slavery Discussed in Occasional Essays from 1833 to 1846 (1846) exercised considerable influence upon See also:Abraham See also:Lincoln, and in this See also:book appears the See also:sentence, which, as rephrased by Lincoln, was widely quoted: " If that See also:form of See also:government, that See also:system of social See also:- ORDER

order is not wrong—if those See also:laws of the See also:Southern States, by virtue of which slavery exists there, and is what it is, are not wrong—nothing is wrong." He was See also:early attracted to the study of the ecclesiastical history of New England and was frequently called upon to deliver commemorative addresses, some of which were published in book and pamphlet form. Of these, his Thirteen See also:Historical Discourses (1839), dealing with the history of New Haven, and his Four Commemorative Discourses (1866) may be especially mentioned. The most important of his historical See also:works, however, is his See also:Genesis of the New England Churches (1874). He published A See also:Manual for See also:Young Church Members (1833); edited, with a See also:biography, the Select See also:Practical Writings of See also:Richard See also:Baxter (1831); and was the author of a number of See also:hymns, the best-known of which is the one beginning,
" O See also:God, beneath Thy guiding hand
Our exiled fathers crossed the See also:sea."
There is no See also:good biography, but there is much See also:biographical material in the commemorative See also:volume issued by his See also:congregation, Leonard Bacon, Pastor of the First Church in New Haven (New Haven, 1882), and there is a good See also:sketch in Williston See also:- WALKER, FRANCIS AMASA (1840-1897)

Thomas See also:Carlyle and especially by Nathaniel See also:Hawthorne, was intended to prove that the plays attributed to Shakespeare were written by a coterie of men, including See also:Francis Bacon, See also:Sir See also:Walter See also:Raleigh and See also:Edmund See also:Spenser, for the purpose of inculcating a philosophic system, for which they See also:felt that they themselves could not afford to assume the responsibility. This system she professed to discover beneath the superficial See also:text of the plays. Her devotion to this one See also:idea, as Hawthorne says, " had thrown her off her See also:balance," and while she was in England she lost her mind entirely. She died in Hartford, Connecticut, on the 2nd of See also:September 1859.
