CHAPTER   VII.
REV.  MR.  CARROLL'S  "MEMORIAL"  SERMON.
Believing  tliat  the  Memorial  Sermon  preacliecl  by
Rev.  Mr.  Carroll  in  the  South  Church  on  the  second
anniversary  of  his  ministry  there,  should  have  a  place
in  a  work  like  this, — not  because  it  is  intrinsically
better  than  many  other  sermons  he  has  preached  in
that  Church,  but  as  embodying  numerous  facts  in
our  history,  and  also  as  setting  forth  the  principles
^yhich  govern  his  pulpit  ministrations  in  some  im-
portant particulars, — principles  which  are  cordially
approved  by  his  present  Church  and  congregation, —
we  have  asked  and  obtained  permission  to  republish
it,  as  here  presented.  The  reader  will  i^erceive  that
some  parts  of  it  are  a  good  deal  expanded  as  com-
pared with  the  edition  already  published  by  request
of  his  people.  In  other  words,  portions  of  it  which
were  then  omitted  or  abridged,  are  here  restored  to
their  original  form,  as  delivered  from  the  pulpit,  or
as  nearly  so  as  can  be  done  at  this  time.  Much  of
the  sermon,  when  spoken,  was  not  written  out  in
full.  It  was  first  preached  on  Sabbath  afternoon,
June  5th,  1864,  being  two  years  from  the  commence-
ment of  Mr.  CarroU's  labors  as  minister  of  the  South
