This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Frederic Dan Huntington was a Unitarian clergyman and later Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Central New York.
Background
Frederic Dan was born in Hadley, Massachusetts on May 28, 1819. He was baptized there at the Church of Christ.
He was of Puritan stock, a descendant of Simon Huntington whose widow arrived in Boston in 1633. His grandfather, William, served in the Revolution under General Putnam. His father, Dan, was a tutor at Williams and Yale and later a Congregational clergyman. His mother was Elizabeth Porter Phelps of Northampton. Something of the independence which characterized his life he doubtless inherited from his mother, who was liberal in her views and read widely. In 1828 she was excommunicated from the Hadley parish and the Congregational communion because of absence from communion for a period of five years. She at once became a member of the Unitarian Church at Northampton.
Education
Frederic read Channing, Dewey, Martineau, the Bible, Sir Thomas Browne, Burke, and DeQuincey. He attended Hopkins Academy, where it is recorded, he was suspended for one year because he failed in a Latin recitation. In 1839 he graduated from Amherst. He had been admitted to the Church of Christ, Northampton, in 1835, and was one of two Unitarians in college during his four-year course. In December 1839 he entered Harvard Divinity School, graduating in 1842. He had already shown a strong reaction against ecclesiastical intolerance and became deeply interested in Transcendentalism, then in full flower under such thinkers as Emerson, Theodore Parker, and others. Huntington, however, was a severe critic of the movement, though perhaps as a reaction from his Calvinistic background, he valued its freedom in the pursuit of truth.
Career
While at Harvard he received thorough training in city institutional work, particularly in prisons, thus developing an interest in social Christianity which he never lost. During this period also he helped Dr. Francis Greenwood in the services at King's Chapel, Boston, where he had his first experience in liturgical worship, another influence which was to develop later in his life.
He was ordained as pastor of the South Congregational Church (Unitarian), Boston, October 19, 1842. From 1845 to 1858 he was editor-in-chief of the Monthly Religious Magazine. In 1855 Huntington accepted a call to go to Harvard as preacher at the college chapel and Plummer Professor of Christian Morals. During these years he went through the deep spiritual conflict which ultimately led him away from Unitarianism and into the Episcopal Church. His bent for liturgical worship, inspired by his experience at King's Chapel, led him to prepare a service-book which was used in Appleton Chapel on Sunday afternoons. His spiritual struggle was reflected in his articles in the Religious Magazine, and his clear-cut arguments in that journal created wide-spread interest. Finally, in 1859, his decision to leave the Unitarian faith and enter the Episcopal Church was made public in a volume of sermons under the title: Christian Believing and Living. In a letter of this period he wrote: "I was never so at rest, never less anxious, never so strong as now".
In 1860 he resigned his positions at Harvard and in September of that year was called as rector of Emmanuel Church, Boston, which he organized. He was ordered deacon in the same month at Trinity Church, by Bishop Eastburn, and on Mar. 19, 1861, was advanced to the priesthood at the Church of the Messiah by Bishop Eastburn. In 1868 he declined the office of Bishop of Maine but upon his election, on January 10, 1869, as the first bishop of the newly created Diocese of Central New York, he accepted. He was consecrated at Emmanuel Church, Boston, April 8, 1869, by Bishop Smith.
During his episcopate in Central New York he founded St. John's School, Manlius, N. Y. (1869), which remains as one of his monuments. In his work he was deeply devoted to the welfare of the Indians of his diocese. While not a political partisan he was a strong free-trader and was opposed to the acquisition of the Philippines. He was also deeply interested in the single-tax movement and favored woman's suffrage.
He died at Hadley, Massachussets His published works include: Lectures on Human Society (1860); Helps to a Holy Lent (1872); Unconscious Tuition (1878); and Christ in the Christian Year and in the Life of Man (2 vols. , 1878 - 81).
Achievements
He is remembered as an American clergyman and the first Protestant Episcopal bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Central New York. Huntington's ancestral family home, the Porter-Phelps-Huntington House in Hadley, became a historic house museumin the 1940s, and is open seasonally.

Quotations:
"If we do not know what the sorrow of penitence is, we have been living only on the surface of life – unmindful of its deep realities, unconscious of its grander glories. "
" Indolence is the worst enemy that the church has to encounter. Men sleep around her altar, stretching themselves on beds of ease, or sit idly with folded hands looking lazily out on fields white for the harvest, but where no sickle rings against the wheat. "
"While reason is puzzling itself about mystery, faith is turning it to daily bread, and feeding on it thankfully in her heart of hearts. "
Connections
On September 4, 1843, he married Hannah Dane Sargent, daughter of Epes Sargent.
