Excerpt from Half Century Discourse: Delivered November 16, 1828 at Concord, Massachusetts I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. I will meditate also of all thy works, and talk of thy doings. It is wise to note and improve the current of time and the events which that current is continually exhibiting. This is the main object of the present discourse. In this subject the inhabitants of this town are interested, and especially their minister, whose official labours have been protracted to half a century. Last Tuesday completed fifty years since his ordination in this place. The psalmist thought it his duty to remember the works and ways of God in years then past, - to meditate on them, and to speak of them. It is no less proper for us to engage in similar services, which we ought to perform in a religious manner, with our whole mind and heart.
