Overview

Excerpt from Reminiscences of Rev. Charles G. Finney Speeches and Sketches at the Gathering of His Friends and Pupils in Oberlin, July 28th, 1876: Together With President Fairchild's Memorial Sermon, Delivered Before the Graduating Classes, July 30, 1876 It was natural that his numerous friends (especially those who could not be present at his burial) should desire that other and special services should be held in commemoration of his long and useful life. To gratify this desire the F ac ulty of the College made arrangements for a Memorial Meeting. The time chosen was Friday, July 28, 1876, the day preceding the Commencement in the Department of Theology. An invitation was extended to his friends, con verts, and pupils throughout the land. A goodly number of them came; others sent letters of regret. The spacious audience-room of the First Church, in which Mr. Finney had so often preached to listening multitudes, was well filled during the entire three long sessions devoted to these com memorative exercises. The' intense interest felt in the wonderful character that was variously portrayed by the different speakers was rather deepened than exhausted; and the Memorial Baccalaureate Sermon delivered on the following Sunday, so far from being superfluous, seemed to all to be only a suitable complement to the exercises of the Memorial day.
