...concordat with the Pope from its adoption to the present day. Almost from the beginning it was realized that a fracture was the inevitable result of such a system; while the steady growth of the functions of the State, and the decline of the temporal power of the Church made the existing relations between the two absolutely incompatible. A. C. Lurie '09 continued the argument, showing how the Separation Act of 1905, planned to meet the necessity made clear in the first speech, was entirely just to the Church. Further, the State not only had the right of supreme sovereignty...
...Raymond '10 was the first to reply for the negative side. He said the Separation Act was unjustifiable because it suddenly and arbitrarily violated a solemn agreement made between Napoleon I and the Pope, without any reference to the present head of the Roman Church. The violation was not based upon any great popular demand, or on any pressing necessity caused by the interference of the Church with the functions of the State. The Separation Act was the result of more political scheming and Anti-Christian agitation. A. Horvitz '10 continued the argument to the effect that the specific provisions...
Horvitz made the first rebuttal for the negative, and laid great stress on the fact that the salaries of the clergy before the Act had not been a burden on the State. Raymond, making the second rebuttal, stated that the Church was now entirely controlled by the so-called religious associations, and that its condition was one of complete helplessness.

John Harvard was admitted a member of the church on November 6, 1637, and a short time afterward he was made its pastor. There are few records of his ministry, except that he preached and prayed with evidences of strong feeling and affection, and that "his own heart was delighted with his ministrations." He was given the Charlestown parish in 1637, but remained pastor of the church a little less than a year, for he died on the 14th of September, 1638. The church in which he preached stood on the west side of what is now City square...
