Excerpt from Two Sermons Preached in the First Congregational Church in Milton: On the 15th and 22d of June, 1862
Nearly all the classes of society that are to be found in the State. During the last sixteen years, at every election, I think, the vote in this town has pretty fairly represented the vote of the whole State, so that when the vote of Milton is declared, we know very well what is the vote of Massachusetts. Nearly all interests, professions and pursuits are represented here in just about the same proportion to each other as in the State. This gives us, and from the beginning has given us, a various, and in some respects a heterogen eous population. We have fewer things in common than is usual in a small town. We are less compactly united. We have less a feeling of interest and pride in what relates to the town. A single fact will illus trate What I mean: The second officer in command of the great army now at Richmond a man of dis tinguished military ability, who two weeks ago today, in the battle at Fair Oaks, by what seemed almost an im possibility, did more perhaps than any other man to save the fortunes of the day, was a Milton boy, the son of Milton parents, and educated in our Milton schools. But I doubt whether there is another town in the United States, where such a fact would be so little re garded, and where on a public occasion like that of the last week, so little notice would be taken of a son so distinguished, and at this moment. Holding so im portant a post.

Excerpt from Two Sermons Preached in the First Congregational Church in Milton: On the 15th and 22d of June, 1862
These are not historical discourses. The strictly historical part of our Centennial Celebration was ably treated by Hon. James Murray Robbins, who understands thoroughly every thing that relates to the town, and whose father and grandfather filled a most important place in its history. What I have attempted is to awaken an interest in those who have gone before us by exhibiting as I might, in two sermons, some of the characteristics of the place, illustrating what I had to say by very slight biographical sketches. I have thrown into the form of notes a few other facts, of little interest to strangers, but which may have a meaning and a value here. There are very subtle chains of association which bind together the generations of those who live in the same neighborhood, and make them from first to last, one living organization, so that something of the same spirit flows through and animates them all. We have as little of this personal identity as any community that I have known. And yet there is a sense in which it does exist, and these discourses are given to the friends who have kindly asked for them in the hope that in some small way, they may help to connect us more closely with those who have gone before us, and lead us to look forward with new interest and increased efforts for their improvement to those who shall come after us to dwell amid these beautiful works of God when we are dead.
