Extract

My acquaintance with Dr. Schaff was not as long as that of some of those who have read papers at this meeting, but it extended over eight years, and was developed under circumstances various enough to give some clear impressions of the scholar, and of the man. I met him at the Hartford Seminary and at Union Seminary, at his own table and at the Century Club, in Washington, in New York, and in London—here, there, and everywhere. I knew him as host and as guest, as junior partner in literary work and in plans for the promotion of theological learning, and as friendly gossip, interested in the shrewd views which he expressed on every topic under the sun, and pleased (not to confess flattered) to surrender to his all-embracing interrogations wahtever was of interest to him.
