Excerpt from The True Roger Williams: An Address Delivered by Request in the First Baptist Meeting House, Providence, R. I We feel ourselves honored this morning in being permitted to welcome to our memorial service his Excellency, the Lieutenant Governor of our State, and his Honor, the Mayor of our City. It is fitting that the honored representatives of the civil authority should accept the hospitality of this ancient church, whose life has been conterminous with the life of the state, in a service in memory of him who was the founder of both church and state.
