(Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the Missions of the Ame...)
Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the Missions of the American Board in Africa In contrast with the natural productions, human beings in Africa are of low types. The various races show the marks of centuries of degradation. Nothing is too low to worship. Slavery is the most ancient inheritance of the country. The chief coast trade for ages was in slaves; and systems of brigandage were organized all through the interior to supply the market. Polygamy of the lowest, loosest kind is universal. For an ox or two the husband buys ills wife, and for a string of beads the mother has sold her child into bondage. The frightful prevalence of cannibalism was checked by the greater value of the vic tim for the slave market than the table. Everywhere woman is the animal of all work, and in many tribes modesty in personal exposure is almost unknown. The traveler beholds young women dabbling in the creeks, innocent of clothing and of scruples. Yet all that was forbidding in Africa has not repelled the missionary, nor prevented his success. More than twenty different Boards have planted stations in this moral waste. They have found the people highly susceptible to religious influences, wherever rum, war, and the slave trade would permit those influences to act. They reckon some forty-seven thousand communicants at the present time,l many of them, however, in churches that do not make conversion a condition of church membership.

(Excerpt from Lectures on Modern Universalism: An Exposure...)
Excerpt from Lectures on Modern Universalism: An Exposure of the System, From Recent Publications of Its Standard Authors On the other hand, the writer has freely availed himself of the aid of such arguments against this heresy, as have fallen in his way. He would especially acknowledge his indebtedness to the recent work of Rev. N. D. George, of the Methodist denomina tion, Universalism not of the Bible. During the delivery of these lectures, he met with the volume and derived from it impor tant information and valuable suggestions, which are cheerfully acknowledged, as well as personal courtesies from its author. A constant difficulty which the writer has felt, has been to res triet the discussion within the limits of his design. It is hoped that any who might desire greater fulness on particular points, will remember the object in view. In wading through the dreary mass of sophistry over which he has passed, it has been difficult always to repress his disgust, and he has not always succeeded. The lectures are printed almost precisely as they were delivered, with only a simple revision of the style, and the insertion of por tions omitted for want of time. They must be given to the press so, or not at all. They are published, not for literary purposes, but to do good. May the blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ ao company them.

The Rev. Samuel Colcord Bartlett (1817 – 1898) was the president of Dartmouth College from 1877–1892; he studied at Andover Theological Seminary, graduating in 1842. He was professor (1858–77) of biblical literature and sacred theology at the Chicago Theological Seminary. In 1869 while a professor of theology, Bartlett published the short book "Historical Sketch of the Hawaiian Mission: And the Missions to Micronesia and the Marquesas Islands". In this book Bartlett gives a highly informative and concise history of the missions in the Pacific Ocean--which have had a large role in the development of these regions.

Excerpt from Anniversary Addresses Brilliancy, so called, is no equivalent or substitute for precision. It is often its worst enemy. A man may mold himself to think in curves and zigzags, and not in right lines. He sends never an arrow, but a boomerang. Or he thinks in poetry instead of prose, deals in analogy where it should be analysis, puts rhetoric for logic, scatters and not concentrates, and while he radiates never irradiates. A late divine was suspected of heresy, partly because of his poetic bias; and one of his volumes was unfortunate for him and his readers, in that for his central position be planted himself on a figure of speech and not on a.

For a long course of years, how ever, he has followed the discussion, examining all available materials for the solution of the question, while waiting for the light that was to come from further discoveries.

Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the Missions of the American Board in Turkey The enemy had overdone his work. The excommuni cation was a blunder; for it founded four Protestant churches the first year. And the previous measures had been equally blundering. For, remarkable as was the spirit of inquiry among the Armenians, it had been vastly increased by the measures taken to put it down. The 'enemies of a pure gospel had done an immense amount of gratuitous advertising almost from the first. The Romish Patriarch had (in 1836) tried his hand at a public denunciation of the missionaries and their books. Four years later, the Armenian Patriarch had issued a bull, followed in a fortnight by a bull from the Greek Patriarch, both of the same description, and by an imperial firman apparently re-enforcing them.

Samuel Colcord Bartlett was born on November 25, 1817 in Salisbury. His father was also Samuel Colcord Bartlett, a name frequently repeated in the family, whose first American ancestor was Richard Bartlett, who came from England to Newbury, Massachussets, in 1635; his mother was Eleanor (Pettingill) Bartlett, also of English Puritan stock, her ancestors having come from Yorkshire in 1640.
Bartlett's early education was all in the New Hampshire atmosphere. Salisbury Academy, Pinkerton Academy at Derry, and an unnamed private tutor were his teachers. He graduated with high honors at Dartmouth in 1836.
He spent the next two years as principal of the Caledonia County Grammar School at Peacham. After a year as tutor in mathematics at Dartmouth, he entered Andover Theological Seminary. This was the period when Andover was the chief champion of New England Calvinism against Unitarianism; and Bartlett always acknowledged the influence on his thought of Professors Park and Stuart, who were among the most distinguished conservative scholars and theologians of that day.
Licensed to preach, April 12, 1843, by the Andover Congregational Association, he was ordained August 2, at Monson, Massachussets. In the latter year he became professor of philosophy and rhetoric at Western Reserve College, Hudson, Ohio, an institution which years later, as Adelbert College, became a part of the Western Reserve University, at Cleveland. He continued for five years in this position, and then returned to New England as pastor of the Franklin Street Church in Manchester. The attraction to the new fields in the West led him in 1857 to accept a call to the New England Congregational Church in Chicago. When he reached this new field, however, he was at once drafted into the work of establishing a theological institution. In 1858 he was installed as professor of biblical literature and sacred theology in the infant Chicago Theological Seminary. For nineteen years he built his life into the institution, organizing and arranging its first classes, and making his influence strongly felt in all its policies, and generally in educational and religious movements throughout the Middle West.
In 1877, when he was sixty years old, he began the work by which he will be most distinctly remembered. He was elected president of Dartmouth College; and he remained actively connected with the institution for twenty-one years, fifteen as president, and after his resignation at the age of seventy-five, for six years more, as lecturer on "The Bible and its Relations to Science and Religion. " His active service as president was a period of continuous growth and progress, but not an untroubled experience. He had decided opinions and policies, and maintained them firmly and persistently. There was much discussion in faculty meetings and with trustees; but never any break. The period of great donations by multi-millionaires had not arrived; but Bartlett's administration saw an addition of $700, 000 to the endowments, an increase in the faculty from twenty-one to thirty-four, of endowed chairs from one to six, numerous buildings on the campus, and the development and firm establishment of the scientific department.
Besides numerous sermons, addresses, the list of Bartlett's published volumes includes the following: The Study of God's Word in the Original Languages (1858); Life and Death Eternal (1866); Sketches of the Missions of the American Board (1866); Historical Sketch of the Hawaiian Mission (1869); Future Punishment (1875); From Egypt to Palestine through Sinai (1879); Sources of History in the Pentateuch (1883); Veracity of the Hexateuch (1897); Anniversary Addresses (1893); and Lectures on Universalism (undated).
