Synopsis
Excerpt from Origin and Early History of the First Parish, Sharon, Massachusetts: A Sermon, Preached on the Occasion of the 150th Anniversary of the Formation of the Church, July 6, 1890
The country church may offer little that is of special interest to the consideration of the historian; but out of it the true life of the community is being shaped to no small extent. In its own way it does as true a work, and a work quite as important, as that which is accomplished by the city church amid more conspicuous surroundings. It may be said of it, however, that it comes closer to the heart of the people, is more to them in the shaping of their characters, than the city church ever can be, large or pop ular as it may be or widely famed.
