Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Past and the Present, in the Secular and Religious History: Of the Congregational Church and Society of Branford a Semi-Centennial Discourse, Delivered July 7th, 1858 It will be remembered that when God gave his laws, his ordi nances and his promises to the ancient church, it was with the solemn charge to teach these things diligently to the children. The church of God and of his Christ is not a provision for one age, any more than a constitution of civil government is an ordi nance for one age but it is to be continued and preserved from generation to generation to the end of the world, subject to amend ment or alteration only by the great law giver. There are then two things Of which we are required to obtain correct knowledge, to preserve that knowledge and communicate it to the generation which may come after us. The first is the testimony which God has established in Jacob the law which he has appointed in Israel -all the doctrines, the precepts, the promises and the privileges which he has given to the church; all the revealed truths which he has connected with the plan of te demption. The second thing is, the leading providences of God concerning these doctrines, truths, promises, and privileges; whether these providences are those which give prosperity or adversity to the church; whether they relate to seasons of revi val, -to the outpourings of the Spirit and the conversion of Sinners, or the periods of declension or diminution. In a word, the history of the church and the religious state of God's people should be carefully studied and known, and as carefully declared to the present generation, that they may know and understand them, and, in turn, faithfully make them known to their children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foreign missionary movement of the early 19th century grew out of the efforts of churches in New England to deal with the changes then taking place in society. The erosion of traditional institutional structures and social values plus the rise of Unitarianism threatened the destruction of the traditional faith. Mr. Andrew holds that the Congregational clergy used foreign missions not only to implant New England culture in heathen lands but also to awaken a sense of community at home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across nineteenth-century New England, antiquarians and community leaders wrote hundreds of local histories about the founding and growth of their cities and towns. Ranging from pamphlets to multivolume treatments, these narratives shared a preoccupation with establishing the region as the cradle of an Anglo-Saxon nation and the center of a modern American culture. They also insisted, often in mournful tones, that New England’s original inhabitants, the Indians, had become extinct, even though many Indians still lived in the very towns being chronicled. InFirsting and Lasting, Jean M. O’Brien argues that local histories became a primary means by which European Americans asserted their own modernity while denying it to Indian peoples. Erasing and then memorializing Indian peoples also served a more pragmatic colonial goal: refuting Indian claims to land and rights. Drawing on more than six hundred local histories from Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island written between 1820 and 1880, as well as censuses, monuments, and accounts of historical pageants and commemorations, O’Brien explores how these narratives inculcated the myth of Indian extinction, a myth that has stubbornly remained in the American consciousness. In order to convince themselves that the Indians had vanished despite their continued presence, O’Brien finds that local historians and their readers embraced notions of racial purity rooted in the century’s scientific racism and saw living Indians as “mixed” and therefore no longer truly Indian. Adaptation to modern life on the part of Indian peoples was used as further evidence of their demise. Indians did not—and have not—accepted this effacement, and O’Brien details how Indians have resisted their erasure through narratives of their own. These debates and the rich and surprising history uncovered in O’Brien’s work continue to have a profound influence on discourses about race and indigenous rights.
