What it is; Whence it is; How it works; WHY IT IS BETTER THAN ANY OTHER FORM OF CHURCH GOVERNMENT; AND ITS CONSEQUENT DEMANDS. BY HENRY M. DEXTER, Editor of "The Congregationalist and Boston Recorder," and lately Pastor of the FOURTH EDITION, REVISED AND ENLARGED. BOSTON: NOYES, HOLMES, AND COMPANY. 1874. Entered according to act of Congress, in the year 1865, by NICHOLS AND NOYES, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court for the District of Massachusetts. NEITHER THE EAST NOR THE WEST HAS YET FULLY COMPREHENDED IN The breadth of his Christian sagacity, The clearness and force of his logical faculty, And his admirable blending of nearly all of those imperial qualities WHO, IN MORE THAN SIXTEEN YEARS OF ALMOST DAILY INTERCOURSE, HAS HAD BOTH FREQUENT CAUSE AND LARGE OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW WHAT HE IS AS A Friend. |
