Excerpt from An Historical Sermon Delivered in the Memorial Church of the Good Shepherd, Rosemont, Pa We must go back more than a quarter of a century, when the present rectorship had existed little more than a year. It became evident that the Church, situated as it was, could not do the work of God in this growing community. Nine hundred acres were held in two portions on the west, on which there was little probability of development, and the populous district which lay to the east was barred by an hill which, for a period of twenty years, had proved prohibitive to all but twelve families. The first Lenten course had been delivered to a congregation which, beginning with three, had progressively advanced till on the last night, in Holy Week, it had attained to twelve. It seemed to the rector that the Church ought to be placed in a position close to where the people dwelt. It was a subject of frequent conversation, and when the Bishop made his annual visitation it was a subject to which his attention never failed to be brought.
