Excerpt from Sermon, Preached in St. Luke's Church, Philadelphia, October 11, 1865, Before the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church: On the Occasion of the Consecration of the Reverend Charles Todd Quintard, M.D., As Bishop of the Diocese of Tennessee This declaration he made not to the ignorant and the unrefined, but to those who gloried in eloquence; who made their boast of wisdom, and who regarded as barbarians all who came not within the magic Circle of Greek learning and Greek philosophy.
