(Excerpt from The Reliance of Christianity on Its Minister...)
Excerpt from The Reliance of Christianity on Its Ministers: A Discourse Delivered Before the Rhetorical Society, in the Theological Seminary at Bangor, Me., August 30, 1843 Revealed truth has this in common With all other truth, that it is taught and maintained by human instrumentalities. Supernatural in its ori gin, and accompanied by extraordinary spiritual agencies, it is, nevertheless, applied to the minds of men by means. And, in general, the means, adapted to give effect to other truth, are no less fitted, and no less necessary, to recommend and enforce that Which came immediately from God. In casting about me for a subject not unsuited to the present occasion, my thoughts have fallen upon the means on which the Christian Religion chiefly depends - the agency of a living ministry. The gospel relies mainly, it is obvious, upon personal influence. It is sustained and propagated by the living preacher.

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.

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.

Charles Brickett Haddock was born on June 20, 1796, in Franklin, New Hampshire, United States; the son of William and Abigail Eastman (Webster) Haddock. His mother was an older sister of Daniel Webster.
Charles was graduated from Dartmouth College in 1816, at the head of his class, and then entered the theological seminary at Andover, Massachusetts, where he remained for two years, receiving ordination as a Congregational minister.
In 1819 Charles Haddock was appointed to the Dartmouth faculty as its first professor of rhetoric and oratory. His duties in this position included active association with the college literary societies and with the various prize-speaking contests which formed an important part of the undergraduate life of the time. In 1838 he became professor of intellectual philosophy and political economy, serving until 1850, when President Fillmore appointed him charge d’affaires to Portugal, where he remained until 1854. He returned to the United States in the same year and resided at West Lebanon, New Hampshire, until his death.
Haddock was interested in public affairs and from 1845 to 1848 he was a member of the state legislature. Largely through his efforts the new office of commissioner of common schools was established in 1846 and he became the first incumbent of the position (1846-1847). He stated forcibly the importance of public schools in a democracy and pleaded vigorously for better school-houses, better pay for teachers, and better training for the profession. He was active in developing teachers’ institutes for normal training and urged the further establishment of public high schools.
Haddock was also an earnest advocate for the building of the railways extending from Concord, New Hampshire, to Burlington, Vermont, demonstrating by public addresses their economic benefits to the community and pleading for the issue of company charters with the power of eminent domain. His occasional addresses, magazine articles, and speeches in the legislature were published in 1846 under the title: Addresses and Miscellaneous Writings.

In personal appearance, abilities, and temperament Haddock was notable for a marked resemblance to his distinguished uncle. He was in both early and later life an unusually handsome man, of dignified bearing and “courtly manners. ” He wrote and spoke gracefully and effectively, and was much in demand as a speaker in the college and neighboring pulpits and on formal public occasions. He enjoyed great popularity with the students at a time when faculty relations with the undergraduate body were traditionally stiff and formal. In the opinion of his colleagues, he had all the qualities requisite for a markedly successful public career but deliberately preferred the quiet usefulness of the educator and scholar.
Haddock was twice married: first, on August 19, 1819, to Susan Saunders Lang, daughter of Richard Lang, and on July 21, 1841, to Caroline (Kimball) Young, daughter of Richard Kimball.
