Gerhardus Langdon Demarest

Gerhardus Langdon Demarest (1816-1909) was an American Universalist minister. He was among the early ministers of the Universalist church in Cincinnati, Ohio, and was named a founding trustee in the 1866 New York charter incorporating the board of trustees of the Universalist General Convention. He compiled devotional and Sunday-school books for Universalist congregations, including Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs (1870) and A Year of Worship (1873).

A hymnbook compiled 'for the use of Universalist churches, associations, and social meetings' by two western ministers — H. R. Nye and G. L. Demarest (whose Year of Worship is also in this collection) — and published in Cincinnati. It served the denomination's Ohio-valley churches, a reminder that Universalist publishing was never only a Boston affair.

A year's course of worship services for the Sunday school and the family: orders of service, responsive readings, and devotional material arranged through the calendar, by the Universalist minister and editor G. L. Demarest. With The Altar (1865, also in this collection) it shows the denomination supplying its schools and homes with the same liturgical care it gave the sanctuary; this collection holds the 1873 edition and the 1885 and 1891 printings.
