Baccalaureate Sermons At Andover Seminary
The Andover Theological Seminary graduation sermon was delivered by Professor J C Smyth with a text from Second Timothy. He warned against alarmist zeal and stressed doctrinal security through faith and the Holy Spirit, praising steadfast church leadership and biblical authority. A remark about a college president’s veto sparked debate on academic rights and reverence for scholarship. The sermon also urged justice and charity in judgment and leadership. In Princeton, President Patton preached at Marquand Chapel on June 7 to the 1891 graduates, lecturing on truth as the alignment of thought and reality and warning that without Jesus supernatural claims Christianity risks becoming baptized paganism.
