Synopsis
Excerpt from A Discourse of the Function of a Teacher of Religion in These Times: Preached at the Ordination of Moses G. Kimball, as Minister of the Free Church at Barre, Worcester County, Mass., On Wednesday, June 13, 1855
IF the inhabitants of this town were to engage a scientific man to come and dwell amongst you, as Superintendent of Agriculture, and teach you practical farming, it is plain what Purpose you would set before him, for which he must point out the way and furnish the scientific means. You would say, Show us how to obtain, continually, the richest crops of the most valuable quality; in quantity, the greatest with the least labor, in the shortest time. Show us the Means to that end.
It is plain what you would expect of him. He must understand his business thoroughly; farming as a Science the philosophy of the thing - teaching by ideas, and showing the reason of the matter; farming, likewise, as an Art - the practice of the thing - the application of his science to your soil demonstrating by fact the truth of his words, and thus proving the expediency of his thought.
