Excerpt from A Sermon: Preached at the Ordination of the Rev. Oliver Stearns, to the Pastoral Care of the Second Congregational Society, in Northampton, Nov; 9, 1831

From the spirit of this declaration, I have thought, may be gathered some reflections not inappropriate to the present occasion. When we are about to sanction, with the solem nities of religion, the consecration of a brother to the cares and the pleasures of ministerial duty, to introduce and to welcome another laborer to the field, on which seeds are to be sown and a harvest to be gathered that belong to eter nity, we may profitably attend to our Saviour's declaration concerning the nature of that religion, for the interests of which the ministry was instituted. The subject, accord ingly, to which I ask your attention, is the character of Christianity as a purely internal and spiritual principle.
