Book Description

Excerpt from The Life of Henry Ostrander, D. D: With Selected Sermons The subject of the following sketch happily left a few notes he deemed worthy Of writing, for the information and interest Of his immediate family. Among them are some sufficiently copious for the purpose of the present narrator, who, though having no claim upon the partiality (that selected him for this service, yielded to the request that he would record, as best he could, the life of one whose excellencies Of mind and heart were out wrought by the Spirit of God into a character that challenges admiration and praise, and to which his pen cannot do adequate justice. These at once came to the surface in the writer's first interview with him, for which he was indebted to the worthy pastor of the Reformed Church at Flatbush, the Rev. Wm. B. Merritt, whose ministry he attended during the last few years of his life. Dr. Ostrander, in this and subsequent interviews, unintentionally revealed himself as possessed of all that greatness of mind and goodness of heart spoken Of in the various Reso lutions recited in the sequel and in no instance overwrought.
