Excerpt from An Historical Address Delivered at the Dedication of Back Creek Church, March 21st, 1857

The first Temple stood in peerless grandeur, as the cen tre-point of Hebrew worship, and the capitol of a theocrat lo government. It held in its types and shadows, the germs Of the Christian Religion, which were to be developed in the person Of the Saviour, who, in the appointed time, ap peared as the greater glory of the latter house. In oth er words, the Prophet means to say, that the moral gran deur of the Christian Religion is to be greater and more glorious than all the physical splendor Of the Temple ser vice, even in its palmiest days. Its gorgeous worship, and imposing ritual are not to be compared with the beautiful simplicity Of the last, and more spiritual dispensation. Iience', Of a truth, the glory Of this latter house was greater than Of the former. And in this place, adds the Prophet, will I give peace saith the Lord of Hosts. And He who has all power in heaven and earth, is able to meet every promise, and to fulfill every prophecy.
