Excerpt from Thirty Short Sermons: On Various Important Subjects Both Doctrinal and Practical Gentlemen: - In former days, it has been my pleasing task to preach the doctrine of universal grace and salvation in the States of Virginia and North Carolina, and particularly in your several sections, where it was never before proclaimed. I have enjoyed the pleasing satisfaction of responding with these feeble organs to the tidings of angels, "Peace on earth, good will toward men." These tidings, echoed by the lips of Murray and Ballou, have broken the midnight darkness of the doctrine of endless vengeance and woe, and dispersed the threatening clouds and tempests which had too long obscured the light shining from heaven, and tens of thousands are now basking and rejoicing in its healing beams. "The day is broke, which never more shall close." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
