SAVAGE, Minot Judson (1841-[1918]) A Unitarian clergyman. He was born at Norridgewock, Me., entered Bowdoin College, but left before the end of his course, and pursued his theological studies at Bangor Seminary. Commissioned by the American Home Missionary Society in 1864, he spent the three following years at San Mateo and Grass Valley, Cal., then settled at Framingham, Mass., but removed to Hannibal, Mo., in 1869. His views underwent so decided a change that he at length withdrew from the Congregational church and in 1873 became pastor of the Third Unitarian Church of Chicago. The next year he was called to the Church of the Unity in Boston and remained there until 1896, when he became minister at the Church of the Messiah in New York City, which pastorate he resigned in 1906 on account of ill-health. He wrote: The Religion of Evolution (1876); The Morals of Evolution (1880); Belief in God (1881); Beliefs about Man (1882); Beliefs about the Bible (1883) Social Problems (1886); My Creed (1887) Jesus and Modern Life (1893); Life Beyond Death (1899); The Passing and the Permanent in Religion (1901); Out of Nazareth (1904) America to England, and Other Poems (1905) Life's Dark Problems (1905).
