An Essay on the Mode and Subjects of Christian Baptism (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from An Essay on the Mode and Subjects of Christian Baptism

It is justly said, that, "a humble tenement should never have an imposing entrance;" - and it is equally true that an unpretending volume should never be introduced by a lengthy or elaborate preface. It will, however, be proper to state here, the circumstances which first brought the author before the public as a writer upon the subject discussed in the following pages. In the year 1839, he was called upon to assist at the first administration of believer's baptism, within the memory of man, in the Town of Windsor. He prepared with some care, two lectures, which he read on the occasion; and which seemed to produce a deep impression at the time of delivery. At the request of many christian friends, a large edition of these lectures, was published for circulation in the Town and Neighbourhood of Windsor. This edition has been long since exhausted, and the author has had repeated applications for copies, which he has been unable to supply.
