Prayer

His prayers were the most eloquent ever addressed to a Boston audience.

—A Harvard professor, speaking of a Rev. Dr. Huntington, according to 'The Christian at Work', as quoted in The Chautauquan: a weekly newsmagazine, Volume 5, ©1885.

(The minister referred to was likely William R. Huntington, a curate of Emmanuel Church, Boston until c.1884 and then Episcopal Bishop of Central New York until his death in 1909. He was a leading actor in the preparation of the Standard Prayer Book of 1892 and a friend of J. Pierpont Morgan.)
