York City (dedicated 1874), was built. His theological standpoint is "the ethical interpretation of Christianity, as opposed to the magical interpretation; belief in the perfectibility of man (no evil is remediless); the inexorableness of the Divine love; the complete success of Jesus Christ (here and elsewhere), and the final moral harmony of the universe (evil completely eradicated and overcome)." His publications are sermons, lectures, pamphlets, and review articles.
