Description:   Excerpt from The Church of Christ-the Church of the Future: A Sermon Delivered at the Installation of Rev. Stillman Clarke, as Pastor of the Congregational Society in Wilton, N. H., June 11, 1857 The spirit of the age is trying the Opinions of men as by fire. The old and the new - old errors and new follies - are clashing in a fearful strife. Conser vatism trembles, and retreats into the dim arches and twilight of the cell and Cloister; entrenches itself in a historic reminiscence; exhumes old traditions; burns its tapers on Protestant altars; imitates in the church, the sacerdotal formalities and puerilities of the medieval age, hoping, by retreat into the past, to secure its authority in the present; trusting to find God in the rear, who, like the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night, leads on true hearts to the prom ised land. In church and state, it falls back 011 what authority it can find; while reform, with' bold and reliant aspect, moves with hasty step to demolish whatever old falsity it opposes, and sometimes would crumble the altars of faith by the fire of its unhal lowed enthusiasm.
