It seems that the adoption of the late refugee law is not without its good effects. It is now clear that the Northwest Association was right when it affirmed that slavery was "nesting in the bosom" of the Virginia churches. It's not just about inflicting cruelty on a person, it's about annihilating the personality.”
The problem in this age is, "What can be done for the poorest of the poor?". The author of the study of the chaplaincy in the Civil War, as mentioned above, observed,. Jonathan Allen was one of the men heavily involved in the establishment and development of education in Alfred.

Encouraged to fulfill every duty, he was heartily welcomed to church prayer and social meetings. In 1849, when the singular convention was formed, whereby several of the ablest and most devoted young men of the academy undertook to work five years as teachers for the building up of the school at a salary of only $400 a year, Darwin E. Ford , now professor of physics at Elmira College, entered Brown University as seniors and at the end of the college year returned home with their diplomas.
Professor Maxson on his return became head of the Department of Natural History and Science. During these ten years, he was ordained to the gospel ministry and became pastor of the little church in Hartsville, five miles away. The men chosen as candidates for the Assembly in 1859 did not live up to the highest ideal of the voters of this district, and Professor Maxon was urged by the better element to become an independent candidate.
Members of the legislature from the city knew the great kindness these women were doing and the needs of the work. Not only his regiment, but the boys in blue in all the surrounding companies, those in gray too, knew they had a friend in the chaplain of the 85th to whom they could turn in all hours of trial. Now there are some 23rd New Yorkers who can attest to that truth.
While teaching at Alfred he was engaged to preach at Hartsville, and on July 7, 1853, after a period of pulpit provision, he was ordained to the gospel ministry and became pastor of the church. In 1861 he enlisted in the army for three years, or until the end of the war. On August 1, 1880, he added to this work at the university the pastorate of the Second Alfred Church, which he held for two years and then resigned to devote himself entirely to his work in theology.
But he was soon called a second time to the pastorate of the Hartsville church, and for about five years he carried on this work in addition to his work in the University. But in answer to his prayer the end came suddenly, and on the eve of the Sabbath, Feb. 22. 1895, the struggle ended, and the triumphant spirit took its flight to the abode of the Father in whose service it found its supreme. enjoyment.
Darwin E. Maxson
After this he continued to work at the university, where he continued to teach until ill health forced him to give up active personal work before classes, although he retained the care and interest in his heart until his death. As president of several associations, as a member and officer in the Seventh Day Baptist Education Society. He was a member of the Board of Directors of the Missionary Society for ten years and always took a keen interest in all our missions.
Maxson, both in his young manhood and in his adult years, gave powerful, effective, and brilliant speeches on temperance, education, and anti-slavery causes. He was a conspicuous figure among our people and has left a very lasting influence on the minds of thousands of leading men.
Minutes of the Forty Fifth Annual Session of the
Maxson and four other members were appointed to a committee "to have charge of the Theological Department." The appointment of this committee was followed by the adoption of a resolution stating that the subscriptions taken from the funds of the Society were given mainly with reference to the establishment of a Theological Department, and ending with instructions to the " Committee to establish that department immediately." The Committee does not seem to have gone forward in the work as rapidly as this resolution intended, but it shows how this department was started, and that Dr. Maxson continued his work of the college professorship until he resigned it for the duties of a soldier in the struggle for the maintenance of the National Union. And so he read and wrote and planned with the work on his mind and heart to the last.
Maxson can be said to have embodied the true spirit of the scholar and to have been associated with education in a vital, useful and inspiring way. While we enjoy so many fruits of his labors, let us imitate his noble example, and let his mantle, like that of the ascended Elijah, fall upon the shoulders of some worthy disciple.

We have seen his devotion to Alfred, the community, his denomination, the Academy and the University, and in regard to the University, for in the years 1859-1862 he was secretary of the board of trustees of the university, and in 1881 and perhaps longer vice-president (the decennial register gives a start date but no end date).
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:--Every great struggle between opposing principles develops the leading qualities and consequent tendencies of those who engage in it—the world's great agitators. One of the greatest statesmen who ever stood on the floor of the American Congress took a true view of the Constitution when he said. The provisions of the Constitution which stand out in bold antagonism against slavery are numerous and explicit.
If you are still undecided, let me repeat the words of the Prophet in your ear: "Choose today whom you will. The work of this age is not—to determine the relation of ruler to subject, of baron to serf, of landlord to the tenant, of the priest to the laity—but the relation of the fortunate to the unlucky, the free to the slave, the sober to the drunk, the prosperous to the afflicted. Maxson then addressed a few words to the children, reinforcing sense of the hymn they would sing, telling them they would be the workers time after time.
