Excerpt from The Origin and History of Grace Church Jamaica, New York This book is written with the conviction that the per sonal and dramatic elements of history are as important as the principles which are motives to its development. In moral and social progress men and women become the visible actors and representatives of passions and truths that lead to the self-denials and deeds which ennoble the life of a community or nation. Church associations and movements are interesting and stimulating to succeeding generations in the measure that individuals stand out in the incidents and results that make up history. Therefore this effort to promote loyalty to the past of Grace Church aims to preserve to another century the memorials of more than two hundred years of human and Christian activity and beneficence. Much more has been set aside than has been presented here, to show the force of Church ideals and conflicting principles and passions. They have been judged with calmness and impartiality. As such I hope the treatment of individuals and measures may be accepted by my readers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
