Description

Portrait of the Rev. Sebastian Streeter. From print: "For a period of forty years he was the revered and beloved pastor of the First Universalist Church in Boston. His learning, his piety, and his christian demeanor, were conspicuous, and distingiushed him as a 'FATHER', in the Israel to which he belonged. The pious resignation of his declining years, and his peaceful, yet triumphant death were vindications of the religious faith he so long and faithfully promulgated and honored"
