Author Description

Excerpt from A Series of Letters, on the Relation, Rights, Privileges and Duties of Baptized Children The publicatiwonjof the ibllowing Letters, has been delayed sornetime beyond the period contenv plated. The author was fully aware of the seri ous responsibility attached to the publication of his views, which some consider new, and of very injuri ous tendency to the Church, which God has purchas ed with his own blood.

If such a thing, however, should appear, he will be thankful for it. Repliek - personal remarks - dog matical assertions, impeaching of motives, 810. He has experienced in some measure, but these things cannot destroy facts - or make the word of God of none effect - cannot in the present day screen terror, or refute sound arguments. The publication is now made under the deliberate and mature con viction that the cause of truth requires it, and that it may profit the Church of God.
