Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sermon, Addresses and Essays: Delivered at the Celebration of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Foundation of the First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia The valuable essays and addresses contained in this volume were delivered at the meetings held in the First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia, May twelfth and thirteenth, 1896, in celebration of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the organization of our Society. It is deeply to be regretted that the list is not quite complete; for there is wanting one of the most remarkable and instructive of the essays, that of Rev. Merle St. Croix Wright on "The Development of Philosophy During the Century." This was given without notes, and the stenographic report proving imperfect, owing to the difficult nature of the subject, it was impossible for the author to reproduce what he had spoken without greater labor than it seemed just to ask him to undertake. And not even the art preservative of all arts is sufficient to embalm for us, in these pages, the spirit and cheer of the highly interesting occasion. Held, necessarily, a calendar month in advance of the actual date, the heats of summer were avoided, and delightful weather favored our proceedings. At the four sessions our Church was filled, - on the two evenings crowded, - with attentive, serious and happy congregations. The only social feature of the celebration was the pleasant informal luncheon at a neighboring hotel, at which assembled nearly two hundred friends from abroad, with members of our own and the other Unitarian Societies of this city.
