1900s ROCHESTER NY POSTAL CARD BAPTIST CLERGY! LA SLAVE PLANTATION ANTI SLAVERY

Description: Howard Osgood was an American Baptist clergyman. Howard Osgood was born on January 4, 1831, on "Magnolia Plantation, " in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, the son of Isaac and Jane Rebecca (Hall) Osgood. His father was of New England ancestry, a nephew of Samuel Osgood. Although a wealthy planter, he became thoroughly dissatisfied with slavery and moved North, settling near New York City. Born and reared an Episcopalian, Howard Osgood joined the Baptist Church from conviction and at considerable personal cost. Education Entering Harvard College in 1846, Howard left in 1849, but nine years later was awarded the degree of A. B. He made an intensive study of the Germany theology. Career Ordained a Baptist minister, February 12, 1857, Howard Osgood served as pastor at Flushing, L. I, 1856-58, and of the North Baptist Church, New York City, 1860-1866. From 1868 to 1874 he was professor of Hebrew at Crozer Theological Seminary, Chester, Pennsylvania, acting also as librarian. It was at the Rochester Theological Seminary, however, that he made his record as a teacher. During 1875-1876 he served as acting professor of church history and for the next twenty-five years was librarian and professor of Old Testament interpretation. He was a member of the famous quintet - Strong, Osgood, Stevens, Pattison, and True - which for the last quarter of the nineteenth century was the pride of that seminary. Howard was a chivalrous Southern gentleman given to hospitality. Master of five languages, devoted to archaeology, rigidly conservative, unwilling to grant any quarter to the historical method of investigation, he spoke and wrote in behalf of a very orthodox interpretation of the Old Testament. His Biblical point of view may be gathered from the following articles and booklets: The Old Testament, What It Is and What It Teaches (1879); Short Sketch of the Christology of the Old Testament (1880); Essays in Pentateuchal Criticism (1888); "Old Wine in New Wine Skins, " Bibliotheca Sacra (July 1893); contributions to Anti-higher Criticism (1894), edited by L. W. Munhall; "President Harper's Lectures, " Bibliotheca Sacra (April 1895). The arguments now advanced by Fundamentalists were vigorously pressed by him. Because of his union with the Baptist denomination, he wrote on the form and significance of baptism. His Archaeology of Baptism contains much first-hand data. Since he regarded the Baptists and Anabaptists as intimately related, he formed at Rochester one of the best American collections of "Anabaptistica. " His Protestant Pedo-baptism and the Doctrine of a Church indicates how decisive his break with Anglicanism had been. Named as a member of the American commission for the revision of the Scriptures, his research in connection with the work of this office resulted in the publication, 1899, of a seventy-four page booklet on References to the Versions by British Revisers, a critical study of the accuracy of British scholarship. Osgood’s most excellent work as translator is found in his "Introduction to the Three Middle Books of the Pentateuch" in the second volume of Philip Schaff's American edition of John E. Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures. In addition to the publications referred to, Osgood was also the author of Grammar of the Hebrew Language for Beginners (1895); Old Testament Ethics; "The Oldest Book in the World, " Bibliotheca Sacra (1888); Quotations of the Old Testament (1880) and Topics in the Psalms. The last decade of his life although spent in retirement was occupied with diligent research and occasional lectures. He died at Rochester. ---- SEE PHOTOS !!!
