THE EPISCOPAL ORDINATION SERVICE.


EXTRACT FROM A LETTER OF DR. FREEMAN RESPECTING THE ORDINATION SERVICE OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH.


IN 1815 the Rev. Dr. Jedediah Morse, the mouthpiece and special champion of the Orthodox party in the Unitarian Con- troversy, so called, caused to be reprinted in Boston, in several editions, a chapter of the Rev. Thomas Belsham's Memoirs of the Rev. Theophilus Lindsey. To this pamplilet Dr. Morse gave the title " American Unitarianism; or, a Brief History of the Progress and Present State of the Unitarian Churches in America." He then proceeded to review the pamphlet anony- mously and in a most disingenuous manner in the " Panoplist " for June of the same year, and thereby "opened that bitter controversy which so long distracted our community." A brief but excellent account of Dr. Morse's connection with this proceeding is contained in an Historical Note to Dr. George E. Ellis's Discourse on the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of his Ordination at Charlestown, March 12, 1865. Mr. Belsham secured most of his facts respecting Unitarianism in and about Boston through a correspondence with Dr. Freeman and others. Soon after his own ordination ( Nov. 18, 1787), Dr. Freeman wrote to Mr. Belsham as follows : -


" I mentioned in a former letter, that Bishop Seabury had ordained a priest in Boston. The members of my congregation in general attended. They were so shocked with the service, particularly with that part where the Bishop pretends to communicate the Holy Ghost and the power of forgiving sins, which he accompanied with the action of breathing on the candidate, that they now congratulate me upon having escaped what they consider as little short of blasphemy. Few of them had ever read, or at least attentively considered, the Ordination Service. Since they have heard it, I have frequently been seriously asked by them whether I would have submitted to so absurd a form. I confess that I am con- vinced I should have acted wrong if I had done it. I shudder when I reflect to what moral danger I exposed myself in soliciting ordination of the American bishops, for I certainly never believed that they had the power of conveying the Holy Spirit."

THE BELL.


AGREEMENT made this twenty sixth day of December, 1815, by & be- tween Aaron Dexter & Joseph May in behalf of the proprietors of King's Chapel of the one part & Paul Revere and son of the other part.


The said Paul Revere & son agree to take the Church Bell, now belong- ing to King's Chapel, & pay therefor twenty five cents per pound ; they also engage to convey the said Bell to their Foundery, and form an exact mould thereof; and with the whole metal of the old Bell & a small addi- tion of other suitable metal, they engage to cast a new Bell which shall in all respects, size, shape, weight, & tone resemble, as exactly as possible, the present Bell, as it was when unbroken. The new Bell shall be ex- amined & compared with the old one by the said Dexter & May, or any three Judges whom they shall appoint ; and if approved of, the said Dexter & May shall pay therefor forty one & 23100 Cents per pound, at the end of one year from the time of receiving said Bell ; which shall be warranted by the said Paul Revere & son to be merchantable, strong, sound, & free from all latent defects. The old Bell to be delivered, & the new one to be received, at the door of King's Chapel in Boston.


AA. DEXTER Jos : MAY PAUL REVERE & SON.


Witnesses. - George Cabot


The breaking and recasting of the bell inspired the following stanzas : -


The Chapel Church,


The Church 'still lives,


Left in the lurch,


The priest survives,


With mind the same,


Must surely fall ; For church and people And bell and steeple


Revere refounds,


The bell resounds,


Are crazy all.


And all is well again.


The late Mr. Joseph W. Revere kindly furnished for these pages a copy of the following anonymous letter : -


BOSTON, Oct. 28, 1816.


SIR, - Since the arrival of the New Bell at the Old South, much has been said respecting the one you cast for the Stone Chapel. - I assure you as a friend and for the future credit of your Foundery, that it is highly necessary you should do something to HARMONIZE the sound &

give it greater power of VIBRATION, if ever you wish to have your name cele- brated as a Bell Founder. I am a friend to all American Manufactures, & strongly advocated in your behalf that you should have the recasting of the Bell - but I am sorry to say, I am much disappointed in my ex- pectations, & I beg you to consider that this Hint is from a friend, who ardently wishes you success, & I hope all expense on your part will not come in contact with your future interest & celebrity -. I do not speak my own sentiments only, on this evidence only I should not have pre- sumed to have addressed you, but I speak the sentiments of hundreds, & have delayed until the present moment, hoping some arrangement would have taken place between you & the Church, but as nothing has been done, I hope your own pride will be roused to pay due attention to this sincere, but friendly Hint. -

SERVICE IN CELEBRATION OF PEACE BE- TWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND GREAT BRITAIN, IN 1815.


AT the Bi-centennial Anniversary of King's Chapel, in Decem- ber, 1886, the Rev. Dr. JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE said: -


"Twice in my life I have seen this Chapel as full as it is to-day. Once was a great while ago, after the declaration of peace with Great Britain. I cannot pretend to remember much ; but I do remember, as a little boy, being very much surprised by seeing so many people in this build- ing, and by seeing such an extended choir on each side of the organ. The other occasion was when Edward Everett returned from Europe, and Dr. Freeman - who had a talent for discovering genius and ability in young men, and a great admiration of genius and ability wherever it was found - asked him to preach in this pulpit on Christmas Day ; and not only was every seat full, but this middle aisle was filled with people standing. Dr. Freeman admired Buckminster, he admired Dr. Chan- ning, he admired James Walker, - all men younger than himself, - and was very fond of having them here."


We give on the next page a fac-simile of the printed pro- gramme used at the service held on the twenty-second of February, 1815 :-

VERSES BY JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE.


Dr. CLARKE concluded his Address in these words: -


" So much must be permitted to one who remembers a great way back ; and now, though my friend WENDELL HOLMES is about to give us a poem, may I venture to read a few lines of verse which I will not call poetry, but which may be a kind of prelude to his opera : -


As our New England elm, the queen of trees, Lifts its vast urn of foliage to the breeze, Stirred by each air that thrills its graceful form, Or tossing wildly in the driving storm, Yet by its mighty roots is anchored fast, - So all our life is rooted in the past : Through all our struggles, hopes, through good and ill, The memories of childhood hold us still.


Church of my boyhood ! as we gather here, Shades of the past, long buried, reappear. I see beside you other forms and faces, Another congregation takes your places. This dear old church with living lustre burns When all the immemorial past returns.


From that old-fashioned pulpit, in my youth, Came the calm voice of simple, earnest truth, - Words of an honest man, who left the broad Highway of custom for a lonely road ; Firm to resist each rude, opposing shock, - Like Hindu temple, cut in solid rock.


And not in vain ; for where he made a way We enter into Freedom's home to-day. He helped to build, with new and better rules, Our literature, society, and schools, Working with men of every name and creed, - With Cheverus, though unsainted, saint indeed ; With Mather Byles or Holley took his stand, Holding a heretic's or bishop's hand ; To all good work his ready help would lend ; Of young and old the counsellor and friend ; And was, when round his form Time's mantle fell, That " Indian summer " he described so well.


The past is gone! but let the coming race Keep this old Chapel ever in its place. Long may it stand for truth, and every son Join in still better work as time rolls on ! And let its children, wheresoe'er they roam, Hold fast the lessons of their early home ; And 'mid temptation's wild and stormy blast May this old anchor ever hold them fast !

" The Minister then said : 'The Poet who for long years has found a home amid these associations, will now touch for us some of their chords.'"


POEM.1


BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES, D. C. L.


Is it a weanling's weakness for the past That in the stormy, rebel-breeding town, Swept clean of relics by the levelling blast, Still keeps our gray old Chapel's name of " King's," Still to its outworn symbols fondly clings, Its unchurched mitres and its empty crown ? 2


Poor, harmless emblems! All has shrunk away That made them Gorgons in the patriot's eyes ; The priestly plaything harms us not to-day ; The gilded crown is but a pleasing show, An Old-World heirloom left from long ago, Wreck of the past that memory bids us prize.


Lightly we glance the fresh-cut marbles o'er ; Those two of earlier date our eyes enthrall : The proud old Briton's by the western door ; And hers, the lady of colonial days, Whose virtues live in long-drawn classic phrase, - The fair Francisca of the southern wall.


Ay! those were goodly men that Reynolds drew, And stately dames our Copley's canvas holds ; To their old church, their royal master, true, Proud of the claim their valiant sires had earned, That "gentle blood," not lightly to be spurned Save by the churl ungenerous Nature moulds.


All vanished ! It were idle to complain That ere the fruits shall come the flowers must fall ; Yet somewhat we have lost amid our gain, Some rare ideals time may not restore, - The charm of courtly breeding, seen no more, And reverence, dearest ornament of all.


1 The third, fourth, and fifth stanzas of this poem have already been quoted Cf. ante, pp. 128, 331, 332. in connection with our account of the Shirley monument. See ante, p. 131, note.

627


DR. HOLMES'S POEM.


Thus musing, to the western wall I came.


Departing, - lo! a tablet fresh and fair, Where glistened many a youth's remembered name In golden letters on the snow-white stone, - Young lives these aisles and arches once have known, Their country's bleeding altar might not spare.


These died that we might claim a soil unstained Save by the blood of heroes; their bequests, A realm unsevered and a race unchained. Has purer blood through Norman veins come down From the rough knights that clutched the Saxon's crown Than warmed the pulses in these faithful breasts?


These, too, shall live in history's deathless page, High on the slow-wrought pedestals of fame, Ranged with the heroes of remoter age : They could not die who left their nation free, Firm as the rock, unfettered as the sea, Its heaven unshadowed by the cloud of shame.


While on the storied past our memory dwells, Our grateful tribute shall not be denied, - The wreath, the cross of rustling immortelles ; And willing hands shall clear each darkening bust, As year by year sifts down the clinging dust On Shirley's beauty and on Vassall's pride.


But for our own, our loved and lost, we bring With throbbing hearts and tears that still must flow, In full-heaped hands, the opening flowers of spring, - Lilies half-blown, and budding roses, red As their young cheeks before the blood was shed That lent their morning bloom its generous glow.


Ah! who shall count a rescued nation's debt, Or sum in words our martyrs' silent claims? Who shall our heroes' dread exchange forget, - All life, youth, hope, could promise to allure For all that soul could brave or flesh endure ? They shaped our future : we but carve their names.


628


APPENDIX.


THE following sonnet, " In King's Chapel," written in Boston, Nov. 3, 1873, by Mrs. Julia C. R. Dorr, deserves a place in these pages : -


"O Lord of Hosts, how sacred is this place, Where, though the tides of time resistless flow, And the long generations come and go, Thou still abidest ! In this holy space The very airs are hushed before Thy face, And wait in reverent calm, as voices low Blend in the prayers and chantings, soft and slow,


And the gray twilight stealeth on apace. Hark ! There are whispers from the time-worn walls ; The mighty dead glide up the shadowy aisle ; And there are rustlings, as of angels' wings,


While from the choir the heavenly music falls ! Well may we bow in grateful praise the while - In the King's Chapel reigns the King of Kings !"


REFERENCE has been made (p. 567) to Mr. Foote's strong interest in the school at Hampton, Va., and to the fact that the hospital connected with it was due to his benevolent enter- prise. On the walls of the hospital is a tablet bearing this inscription : -


FOR THE RELIEF OF GOD'S CHILDREN AND IN LOVING MEMORY OF MARY FOOTE. BLESSED ARE THE PURE


IN HEART. 1864-1885. ERECTED BY MEMBERS OF KING'S CHAPEL, BOSTON.


The tablet is of brass, the color of old bronze, set on a piece of oak. A design of flowers is etched in the brass, outside the inscription : on the right hand, a spray of lilies; on the left, of wild roses ; at the foot, a bunch of mayflower.

INSTALLATION OF HOWARD N. BROWN.


THE HOLMES MONUMENT.


IN the autumn of 1895 the Parish caused to be placed upon the northern wall of the Chapel a beautiful monument in mem- ory of Dr. OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES. The monument, of pale Sienna marble and Mexican onyx, was designed by Mrs. Henry Whitman; the inscription was written by President Charles W. Eliot; and the Latin motto upon the frieze (from Horace's Ars Poetica, 343) was suggested by Professor George M. Lane.


The inscription reads as follows: -
