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.

Edit Profileclergyman educator hymnologist
Education
Samuel did not begin to prepare for college until after he was twenty-one, when an injury to his back made farm work impossible. In 1803 he was graduated at Harvard College.
Career
In 1804 he taught at Phillips Academy, Exeter, N. H. , and in 1804-05 was tutor at Bowdoin College. Licensed by the Cambridge Association in 1805, he preached in Cambridge and later lived in Andover for a time, preaching as opportunity offered. He received a call in 1807 to become pastor of the Congregational church in Deerfield, but his theological views were so broad that the council called to examine him would not ordain him. A month later, however, a second council approved him and proceeded to his ordination. He served the Deerfield church until 1829, when failing sight compelled him to resign. From 1829 to 1836, except for a short time in Concord, he resided in Hingham and for two years taught in a school which his future son-in-law, Luther Barker Lincoln, had opened. He then returned to Deerfield, where he resided until his death, frequently being called upon to preach. The diary which he kept during most of his life records a complete history of the objections made by the council to his religious views. These were repeated in his fiftieth anniversary sermon, preached in Deerfield September 22, 1858. They are again stated in an article, "Early Unitarian Movement in Western Massachusetts, " written by his daughter and published in the Unitarian Review (February 1881). The controversy over his ordination was the first intimation in Western Massachusetts of the liberal theological opinions which finally led to the separation of the Unitarians from the Congregational body. In 1813 several ministers refused to take part in an ordination service with him. Their refusal provoked a pamphlet controversy, in which, also, Willard's views as expressed at his ordination were discussed. In addition to his pastoral duties Willard gave much time to education and music.
