Again,
Mr. Luro built for him a church, in a more private and eligible
position, on the corner of Julia and St. Charles streets, and donated
it to the pastor and congregation of the Gravier Street Church. Here
Mr. Clapp continued his ministry during the remaining time of his
residence in New Orleans.
He found with the cultivated and intelligent of New Orleans an
approval of his teachings and example. The consequence was, and is,
the entire absence of sectarian dissensions, and a social intercourse
between all, resulting in a united effort for the common good, and the
maintenance of moral sentiments and moral conduct--the basis and
source of true and triumphant religion.
"The deeds that men do, live after them." Of no man can this be more
truly said than of Dr. Clapp. Through every phase of society his
example and teachings continue to live; and every virtuous and
intelligent man in the community of Dr. Clapp's ministry, in New
Orleans, conspires to continue the effect of them.
In no community on earth is there a greater diversity of
nationalities, than in that of New Orleans, where every sect of
religionists is to be found.
