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 "Sayings of old, which we have heard and which our Fathers Have Told us. We will not Hide Them From Their Children, Showing To The Generations To Come The Praises Of The Lord, And His Strength And His Wonderful Works That He Hath Done. For He Established A Testimony In Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children; that the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born, who should arise and declare them to their children; - that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God but keep his commandments. Every attentive reader of the Bible must have observed the frequency with which the inspired writers, or speakers, allude to Gods past dealings with the world and the church for the purpose of giving instruction to the present and coming generations. Thus Moses and Joshua, at the close of their ministrations, and among the last labors of life, recount before the people of their charge, the praises of the Lord, his strength and his wonderful works in their behalf. The same course was taken by Samuel when he reproved the Israelites for their ingratitude and called them to repentance. We have similar examples in the writings of David and of Ethan the Ezrahite; - in the sermons of Peter and Paul, and in the defense which Stephen, the martyr, made before the Jewish Council. God's past dealings with the church and with its enemies, - his mercies and his wonders are brought into view to incite men to penitence for sin, and to call forth gratitude for divine favors; - to induce men to fear him and place their hope in him. The text is a striking instance of this kind. The title of the Psalm is, "A Psalm to give Instruction" - and Asaph calls on his people to give ear to it, as though he had said what our Lord afterwards said: "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the spirit saith unto the churches."

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.

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.
