He read and re-read his favorite authors, - loved to recite the 14th Chap. of St. John in Greek and was full of latin quotations. He never jumped at a diagnosis, but was always willing to say 'I don't know.' He believed that woman's sphere was her own atmosphere. He was deeply religious, broad and progressive. He believed that truth never changes but that the way to truth is changing all the time." Residence Hanover, N.H., Los Angeles, Cal. Physician.

THOMAS WORCESTER, (Noah6,

1848; m 2d, Feb. 27, 1850, Mrs. Lydia Dean, dau Philip Rowell, Salisbury, Mass., b May 15,
1796, d 1882. He removed with his father, Rev. Noah Worcester to Brighton in 1813;
grad, Harvard College, 1818; studied theology, Divinity School, Cambridge, Mass., six
months; settled May, 1821, as Pastor of the New Jerusalem Church, Boston, Mass. Editor of
the New Jerusalem Magazine 1855-1860; President of General Convention of the New Church in
America from 1839-1875; Presiding minister of Mass. Assn. of the New Church from
1838-1874. Overseer, Harvard College from 1854-1860; D.D. Harvard, 1856; Pres. N. Ch.
Theological School, 1866-1878; Pastor of Boston Soc. of the New Church 1821-1867. After
resigning his pastorate of the Boston Society in 1867, he removed to Waltham, where the
sessions of the Theological School were afterward held. Dr. Worcester was a
marked character in his day and generation. There was need of all the decision and
firmness for which his life was so remarkable in the early days of the establishment of
the New Jerusalem Church in New England, and its growth and character depended very much
upon the characteristic qualities of the mind of him who was its acknowledged head and
leader. His stately, venerable form, his gracious dignified presence, his clear, forcible
presentation of Divine Truth will never enjoyed his ministrations. Residence, Boston and
Waltham.
