Excerpt from Sermon Preached at the Consecration of Saint Alban's Church, D. C., May 24, 1855
As with associations of natural affection, so with those of time and place. How powerful they are! Powerful, alas for evil as for good. The first positive sins that men commit, what a struggle they bring with them Ilow all the early, hallowed associations seem to rise, like warning angels, to protect the shrine their presence has sanctified! Llow thev seem to veil their faces, and to fold their sheltering wings when they are defied Then, alas, association, that providentially designed angel of light may become a spirit of darkness; the book, the company which first taught lessons of evil, may be first links in one connected chain of evil passion, and profligate action and daring unbelief. Yet, even here, the mercy of God may convert these awful instruments of evil into good; and, doubtless, there is many a peni tent creature, for whom the very things associated with his downfall and estraneement from God, become perpetual monuments and mementos of humiliation, reminding him how he had used them, telling him what a creature he had been, and how lowly and how adoringly his soul must how before that Lamb of God that taketh away.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a sermon given at the consecration of St. Albans Church, published at the request of the Bishop of Maryland and clergy present. The author uses this opportunity to expound on the concept of 'association', as presented by the book of Exodus and further developed in the book by referencing both natural phenomena and historical events. This concept posits that places can indeed be imbued with memories and significance, owing to events that have occurred in those places. This is tied to the idea that the act of consecrating the church is not an arbitrary one, but rather a practice steeped in history and meaningful actions. By associating the consecrated space with holy and meaningful actions, the author argues, these places then take on a special significance.
