Description:Excerpt from Centennial Discourses: A Series of Sermons Delivered in the Year 1876 IN June, 1875, the General Synod of the Reformed (dutch) Church directed the preparation and delivery of a series of dis courses on topics appropriate to the Centennial year of the Repub lic. The object was to set forth the general relations of religion to liberty; to compare our national struggle with that of Holland; to exhibit something of the denominational history during the colo nial period to indicate the large Huguenot element which entered into this branch of the Church; and especially to set forth its char acter, doctrine, usages and spirit, as developed and tested during the first century of its independent existence, with the view of exciting profounder gratitude to God for his signal mercies, and of stimulating a heartier consecration to His service. These discourses are now printed. To them is appended the Latin inaugural ad dress oi the Rev. Dr. John H. Livingston, who was unanimously elected Professor of Theology by the General Synod, 1784. He was a graduate of Yale College in 1762, and of the University of Utrecht in 1770. This oration, delivered in 1785, is supposed to have been the first address of a formally appointed Professor of Theology in this country.
