Excerpt from Anson Judd Upson L. H. D. D.D. LL. D., Regent of the University of the State of New York, 1874-1902: A MemorialSo early as 1856, Chancellor Upson's thought turned toward the Chris tian ministry, to which he subsequently dedicated himself. Having embraced the Christian faith and identified himself with the presbyterian communion, he began the study of theology in the year specified, and in 1 8 59 was licensed to preach. His services were in frequent requisition in the pulpits of central New York, and, in 1870, he accepted a call to the pastorate of the Second Presbyterian church in Albany, to the exceeding regret of the friends of Hamilton College. Then followed a decade of most acceptable service and spiritual leading in that historic church. His administration is a memorable one. His congregation was devoted to him. He was honored and beloved as a pastor and admired for the strength and purity of his deliverances. He held first rank among the clergymen of the capital city, and visitors as well as residents were attracted by his preaching, which was characterized by the same vigor and clarity as his secular utterances. He was a member of the General Assembly of his church in 1871 and 1877, as also in 1884, a delegate to the Evangelical Alliance, in Belfast, in 1884, and preacher at Cornell University in 1876. In 1880, he resigned his Albany charge to become professor of sacred rhetoric and pastoral theology in the Auburn Theo logical Seminary, where he remained till 1887, when he resigned because of impaired health, and was made professor emeritus. Of his service in the seminary Prof. James Stevenson Riggs thus writes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
