atthe time when he was feeling the tremendous strain thatwas put upon him, and filled with the forebodings asto the issue of the war, it was like an oasis in thedesert. The old church could not hold the throngthat gathered about him. The evening assembly washeld in a public hall. Many and sincere were the con-gratulations which he received. Perhaps none weremore grateful to his heart than the tribute of AlbertBarnes. He must also have cherished greatly the ac-count of this event from the pen of Henry WardBeecher in the Independent. The record of this eventfrom Mrs. Brainerd in his biography would indicatethat Dr. Brainerd received from this anniversary astrength and an inspiration for many days that laybefore him. Dr. Brainerd did not delight in writing. He was aman of action rather than of the pen. His life of themissionary, David Brainerd, is an important additionto biographical literature. During his pastorate at OldPine Street he published about twenty sermons in xLife, page 253.
