JAMES See also:FREEMAN (1810–1888) , See also:American preacher and author, was See also:born in See also:Hanover, New See also:Hampshire, on the 4th of See also:April 181o. He was prepared for See also:college at the public Latin school of See also:Boston, and graduated at Harvard College in 1829, and at the Harvard Divinity School in 1833. He was then ordained as See also:minister of a Unitarian See also:congregation at See also:Louisville, See also:Kentucky, which was then a slave See also:state. Clarke soon threw himself See also:heart and soul into the See also:national See also:movement for the abolition of See also:slavery, though he was never what was then called in See also:America a " See also:radical abolitionist." In 1839 he returned to Boston, where he and his See also:friends established (1841) the " See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

Church of the Disciples." It brought together a See also:body of men and See also:women active and eager in applying the See also:Christian See also:religion to the social problems of the See also:day, and he would have said that the feature which distinguished it from any other church was that they also were ministers of the highest religious See also:life. Ordination could make no distinction between him and them. Of this church he was the minister from 1841 until 185o and from 1854 until his See also:death. He was al5q
secretary of the Unitarian Association and, in 1867–1871 See also:professor of natural religion and Christian See also:doctrine at Harvard. From the beginning of his active life he wrote freely for the See also:press. From 1836 until 1839 he was editor of the Western Messenger, a See also:magazine intended to carry to readers in the See also:Mississippi Valley See also:simple statements of " liberal religion," involving what were then the most radical appeals as to national See also:duty, especially the abolition of slavery. The magazine is now of value to collectors because it contains the earliest printed poems of See also:Ralph See also:Waldo See also:Emerson, who was Clarke's See also:personal friend. Most of Clarke's earlier published writings were addressed to the immediate need of establishing a larger theory of religion than that espoused by See also:people who were still trying to be Calvinists, people who maintained what a See also:good American phrase calls " hard-shelled churches." But it would be wrong to See also:call his See also:work controversial. He was always declaring that the business of the Church is Eirenic and not Polemic. Such books as Orthodoxy: Its Truths and Errors (1866) have been read more largely by members of orthodox churches than by Unitarians. In the See also:great moral questions of his See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time Clarke was a fearless and See also:practical See also:advocate of the broadest statement of human rights. Without caring much what See also:company he served in, he could always be seen and heard, a See also:leader of unflinching courage, in the front See also:rank of the See also:battle. He published but few verses, but at the bottom he was a poet. He was a diligent and accurate See also:scholar, and among the books'by which he is best known is one called Ten Great Religions (2 vols., 1871–1883). Few Americans have done more than Clarke to give breadth to the published discussion of the subjects of literature, See also:ethics and religious See also:philosophy. Among his later books are Every-Day Religion (1886) and Sermons on the See also:Lord's See also:Prayer (1888). He died at See also:Jamaica See also:Plain, See also:Mass., on the 8th of See also:June 1888.
His Autobiography, See also:Diary and See also:Correspondence, edited by See also:Edward See also:Everett See also:Hale, was published in Boston in 1891. (E. E.
