Excerpt from The Design of Baptism: Viewed in Its Relation to the Christian LifeThe view here presented of the design of Baptism is one which has deeply impressed the mind of the writer. The years that have passed away since it was given, at Cambridge, Septem ber 27, 1828, as an introductory discourse before the Boston As sociation of Baptist Churches, have served to make the impres~ sion yet more deep. The considerations then urged not only continue in all their force, appealing to the understanding and to the heart, but they have gathered strength from recent events. And from the circumstances by which we are now surrounded. Heaven grant that their appeal may not be in vain!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
