SERMONS TO THE PURITANS.
Thought Themselves Wronged If the
Preaching Was Not Long.
At Lorimer hall, Tremont temple,
Monday evening, at the monthly meet
ing of the Congregational club, Leop
H. Vincent spoke on "Kings of the
Colonial Pulpit,” giving a history of
the Mather family and their habits
He sald the Puritans were always
craving for learning and wisdom, and
that they had no sooner landed in
America than they began making
books. The continual studiousness |
of the Puritans, said Mr. Vincent, is |
what makes New England today the |
great hive of books and authors. Be
sides studying the Puritans spent
their spare time in persecuting here
tice and drinking strong drinks, but |
tke only habit of the three that has |
clung to their descendants is
reading.
The sermons were long winded, and
in an hour the minister usually only
got started: An old record says
“Mr. Hooker preached two hours and
seventeen minutes while not feeling
well. How long he would have talk
ed if he was In good health! A Har
vard student wrote of a minister that
preached to the students: “He
preached two hours, and much to out
regret, he had to stop” The people |
pald to hear sermons on the tacit |
condition that the preacher would
speak a certain length of time. The
audience would look at the sandglass |
to see that they got their money's
worth, i
Mr. Vincent said Cotton Mather |
was probably the smartest boy in the
fomily, and at the age of eighteen he
had received his degree from his
own father, Richard, President of Har
vard. The subject of his thesis was
“Hebrew, Vowel Points are Divine io |
Origin.”
