CHAPTER VI THE ORGANIZATION OF A WORKING PARISH 1868-1873 The new rector, then in the thirty-fourth year of his age, preached his first sermon in Grace Church on Sunday, April 26th, 1868. His subject was "A Living Christ, the Power of a Living Religion." "The edifice was well filled," said the Times in an inconspicuous paragraph, and the "instructive discourse was listened to with marked attention." Thus quietly the New York ministry began. The city at that time was practically bounded by Fortysecond Street. Beyond were ill-paved roads between knolls of rock inhabited by goats and squatters. Downtown, Trinity spire soared high above the four-story shops and houses. Complaints were made, however, of the grievous scarcity of residences with reasonable rents, and already, in 1865, attention had been called to "the Parisian plan of dividing a large building into many suites of apartments." The President of the United States was then on trial looking to his impeachment. In Mexico a revolution was in progress. Hostile Indians were making trouble in Nevada. The Kuklux Klan was active in Mississippi. General Napier was scattering the troops of King Theodore in Abyssinia. In New York, Tweed and his associates were beginning to retreat. Lyman Abbott was pastor of the New England Congregational Society in East Forty-first Street, John Hall was at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, Thomas Armitage at the Fifth Avenue Baptist, William M. Paxton and Howard Crosby were active in their ministry, Beecher and Storrs were preaching in Brooklyn. John Cotton Smith was at the Ascension, Edward A. Washburn at Calvary, Stephen H. Tyng at St. George's, Dr. Morgan at St. Thomas's, Dr. Houghton at the Transfiguration, Dr. Ewer at Christ Church, Dr. Dix at...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Henry Codman Potter: Seventh Bishop of New York Richard Watson Gilder, of the Century Magazine, wrote to Bishop Potter in 1902 in the hope of persuading him to be his own biographer. "You know," he said, "what Samuel Johnson says about biography - that every man should write his own life. . . . Have you not already begun jotting down your reminiscences ? I hope you have, or, if not, I hope you will begin. Of course, such things should be written as if not for publication. The question of how much should be printed, and when, would come in afterwards. You would probably think, in writing, that it would be only after your translation to the board of heavenly bishops. As a matter of fact, you might find that many chapters would be very good reading during your own lifetime. I am writing both as an editor and as a representative of our publishers in stirring you up about this." This pleasant invitation Bishop Potter declined. At the same time, quite unconsciously, he was preparing, year by year, a considerable store of autobiographical material. Two things we desire to know about a man: what he did, and what he thought. The canons of the Episcopal Church require of every bishop that he shall make a regular and careful record of these two series of personal facts. He must keep, and annually print, an official journal recording all his visitations, his sermons and addresses, his religious services, with dates and places. Thus the biographer of Bishop Potter is able to find out just where the bishop was and in what sort of episcopal act he was engaged on the ninth day of December, 1901, or on the twelfth day of April, 1884.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few aspects of American military history have been as vigorously debated as Harry Truman's decision to use atomic bombs against Japan. In this carefully crafted volume, Michael Kort describes the wartime circumstances and thinking that form the context for the decision to use these weapons, surveys the major debates related to that decision, and provides a comprehensive collection of key primary source documents that illuminate the behavior of the United States and Japan during the closing days of World War II. Kort opens with a summary of the debate over Hiroshima as it has evolved since 1945. He then provides a historical overview of thye events in question, beginning with the decision and program to build the atomic bomb. Detailing the sequence of events leading to Japan's surrender, he revisits the decisive battles of the Pacific War and the motivations of American and Japanese leaders. Finally, Kort examines ten key issues in the discussion of Hiroshima and guides readers to relevant primary source documents, scholarly books, and articles.

Download or read book All Things Human written by Michael Bourgeois and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addition to being the sixth bishop of the Diocese of New York, Henry Codman Potter (1835-1908) was a prominent voice in the Social Gospel movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book, the first in-depth study of Potter's life and work, examines his career in the Episcopal church as well as the origins and legacy of his progressive social views. As industrialization and urbanization spread in the nineteenth century, the Social Gospel movement sought to apply Christian teachings to effect improvements in the lives of the less fortunate. Potter was firmly in this tradition, concerning himself especially with issues of race, the place of women in society, questions of labor and capital, and what he called "political righteousness." Placing Potter against the wider backdrop of nineteenth-century American Protestantism, Bourgeois explores the experiences and influences that led him to espouse these socially conscious beliefs, to work for social reform, and to write such works as Sermons of the City (1881) and The Citizen in His Relation to the Industrial Situation (1902). In telling Potter's remarkable story, All Things Human stands as a valuable contribution to intellectual and religious history as well as an exploration of the ways in which religion and society interact.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering an exhaustive range of information about the five boroughs, the first edition of The Encyclopedia of New York City was a success by every measure, earning worldwide acclaim and several awards for reference excellence, and selling out its first printing before it was officially published. But much has changed since the volume first appeared in 1995: the World Trade Center no longer dominates the skyline, a billionaire businessman has become an unlikely three-term mayor, and urban regeneration—Chelsea Piers, the High Line, DUMBO, Williamsburg, the South Bronx, the Lower East Side—has become commonplace. To reflect such innovation and change, this definitive, one-volume resource on the city has been completely revised and expanded. The revised edition includes 800 new entries that help complete the story of New York: from Air Train to E-ZPass, from September 11 to public order. The new material includes broader coverage of subject areas previously underserved as well as new maps and illustrations. Virtually all existing entries—spanning architecture, politics, business, sports, the arts, and more—have been updated to reflect the impact of the past two decades. The more than 5,000 alphabetical entries and 700 illustrations of the second edition of The Encyclopedia of New York City convey the richness and diversity of its subject in great breadth and detail, and will continue to serve as an indispensable tool for everyone who has even a passing interest in the American metropolis.
