Excerpt from Discourse: Addressed to the Alumni of the Princeton Theological Seminary, April 30, 1862, on Occasion of the Completion of Its First Half Century

Fellow Alumni and Dear Brethren:

It would be an offence against the proprieties of the hour, against the instincts of nature, and even the dictates of religion, to suppose that our hearts were not now moved by a common impulse, and our thoughts flowing in the same channel. In coming back to this endeared spot, to keep this commemorative day, we have, I suppose, by common consent, left all matters of private and individual interest behind us. We have come to unite in an offering of reverence, and gratitude, and filial devotion to the mother who has cherished and trained us, and then dismissed us with her blessing, and sent us forth to our work. We have come to offer to God thanksgiving, not only for his manifold tokens of kindness to ourselves, in the various fields we have occupied, but for that unbroken stream of bounty and grace, which, during all these years, He has been pouring upon our beloved Seminary.
