Church Debts: Their Origin, Evils, and Cure (Classic Reprint)

These letters were written under a feeling sense of the enormous curse of Church Debts. They were all published in the Christian Observer, of this city, except a few of the last pages, which were withheld, because some of our debt-oppressed Christians felt that they had as much light on the subject as their consciences could then bear. That the discussion of this subject has done incalculable good, there can be no doubt. Many have been provoked to love and to good works in paying off their Church Debts, who will be slow to thank the Author for the assistance he has rendered them in their work. But he has his reward in the knowledge of the fact, that many of his brethren in the ministry have been delivered, through his instrumentality, from the bondage under which they were made to groan by a money-loving church. They are now republished at the earnest request of many, who hope that the smooth stone, which has slain some of these haughty Philistines, which have defied I srael, may not leave one of the race to curse the Church of God. That they may accomplish this blessed work, is the sincere prayeirof The A uthor.
