Excerpt from The Story of Theodore Parker Some of the heresies of one age become the gospel of the next, and we are apt to accept truth, which we find ready to our hand, almost without a thought of the great men who in former years have suffered and fought in its defence. The story of Theodore Parker is little known to young people. Yet the memory of one whose reverence was so deep for the essential basis of religion should never die away; and no nobler example can be found in modern times of faithfulness to conscience.
