Not illustrated. 1915 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VI THE ORGANIZATION OF A WORKING PARISH 1868-1873 The new rector, then in the thirty-fourth year of his age, preached his first sermon in Grace Church on Sunday, April 26th, 1868. His subject was "A Living Christ, the Power of a Living Religion." "The edifice was well filled," said the Times in an inconspicuous paragraph, and the "instructive discourse was listened to with marked attention." Thus quietly the New York ministry began. The city at that time was practically bounded by Fortysecond Street. Beyond were ill-paved roads between knolls of rock inhabited by goats and squatters. Downtown, Trinity spire soared high above the four-story shops and houses. Complaints were made, however, of the grievous scarcity of residences with reasonable rents, and already, in 1865, attention had been called to "the Parisian plan of dividing a large building into many suites of apartments." The President of the United States was then on trial looking to his impeachment. In Mexico a revolution was in progress. Hostile Indians were making trouble in Nevada. The Kuklux Klan was active in Mississippi. General Napier was scattering the troops of King Theodore in Abyssinia. In New York, Tweed and his associates were beginning to retreat. Lyman Abbott was pastor of the New England Congregational Society in East Forty-first Street, John Hall was at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, Thomas Armitage at the Fifth Avenue Baptist, William M. Paxton and Howard Crosby were active in their ministry, Beecher and Storrs were preaching in Brooklyn. John Cotton Smith was at the Ascension, Edward A. Washburn at Calvary, Stephen H.

Few aspects of American military history have been as vigorously debated as Harry Truman's decision to use atomic bombs against Japan. In this carefully crafted volume, Michael Kort describes the wartime circumstances and thinking that form the context for the decision to use these weapons, surveys the major debates related to that decision, and provides a comprehensive collection of key primary source documents that illuminate the behavior of the United States and Japan during the closing days of World War II. Kort opens with a summary of the debate over Hiroshima as it has evolved since 1945. He then provides a historical overview of thye events in question, beginning with the decision and program to build the atomic bomb. Detailing the sequence of events leading to Japan's surrender, he revisits the decisive battles of the Pacific War and the motivations of American and Japanese leaders. Finally, Kort examines ten key issues in the discussion of Hiroshima and guides readers to relevant primary source documents, scholarly books, and articles.

In addition to being the sixth bishop of the Diocese of New York, Henry Codman Potter (1835-1908) was a prominent voice in the Social Gospel movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book, the first in-depth study of Potter's life and work, examines his career in the Episcopal church as well as the origins and legacy of his progressive social views. As industrialization and urbanization spread in the nineteenth century, the Social Gospel movement sought to apply Christian teachings to effect improvements in the lives of the less fortunate. Potter was firmly in this tradition, concerning himself especially with issues of race, the place of women in society, questions of labor and capital, and what he called "political righteousness." Placing Potter against the wider backdrop of nineteenth-century American Protestantism, Bourgeois explores the experiences and influences that led him to espouse these socially conscious beliefs, to work for social reform, and to write such works as Sermons of the City (1881) and The Citizen in His Relation to the Industrial Situation (1902). In telling Potter's remarkable story, All Things Human stands as a valuable contribution to intellectual and religious history as well as an exploration of the ways in which religion and society interact.
