Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Memorial of Rev. Theodore Tebbets: A Sermon Delivered in the First Church, Medford, Feb, 8, 1863
Before the close of his second year here, the proffer of renewed aid enabled him to enter at once upon his theological studies, which he did at the Cambridge Divinity School in the spring of 1853. Here not only did he attend successfully to his studies, and assist himself during the last year by taking a private pulpit, a means to which he afterwards still further resorted for lifting off the burden of debt, - but he also made occasional contributions of unusual literary merit to religious periodicals; and from October, 1854, preached almost every Sunday. He first preached, but for three Sundays only, in the summer of 1853. His first sermon was upon A Finished Life, in which he describes success as consisting, not in the gross amount of what we do, but in the religious spirit of our labors, in the earnestness and sincerity of our lives; an almost prophetic anticipation, not only of his own work, but of his destiny, in the min istry.
