DEDICATION.

THE author of the following work would beg leave respectfully to dedicate it to the Universalist ministers and their congregations throughout the United States of America, with the fervent desire and prayer that they may so far overcome their prejudices as to read it,—so far be enlightened as to understand it, so far be instructed by it as to see their error, so far be warned by it as to flee from danger, so far be convinced by it as to pray for forgiveness, and so far be recovered by it as to die in triumph, and stand at length on the right hand of the Son of Man.

PREFACE.

It may be well to state, that at this time the author was wholly unacquainted with the speaker on that occasion, or with the Rev. Abel C. Thomas, or any of his congregation, Mr. Thomas immediately arose, and asked the author if he would be willing to disclose his name. The author immediately gave his name. He was then asked if he would be willing to make known his residence. The author at once stated the place of his abode. He was then asked if he was a clergyman. An affirmative answer was quickly given
