Excerpt from The Value and Efficiency of the Ministry: A Charge Delivered to the Clergy of the Diocese of Maine, in Christ Church, Gardiner, at the Annual Convention, July 9, 1862 If, therefore, the Christian ministry, in some of its aspects and relations, be the subject of the present address, I would do something more than simply to stir up your hearts and my own to the watchful fulfilment of our vows of ordination. I would, if I might, display in such a light the value of our office to the maintenance and propagation of the religion of Christ, to every interest of the Church, to the highest welfare of society, and to each individual soul, that both we and the people of our charge should be constrained, in our several ways, more gladly and zealously by far than ever before, to support and honor it in its fullest efficiency.
