TUTTLE, Printer. 1844. REV. W. D. SNODGRASS, TROY, February 19, '1844. Dear Sir,-The undersigned, members of your Session, Board of Trustees, and Congregation, have listened with attention to the able and interesting series of discourses which you have recently delivered on the Apostolical Succession. This subject has, from recent occurrences, become one of deep interest to all evangelical denominations of christians. And fully believing, as we do, that you have, in those discourses, clearly and satisfactorily shown from the Word of God, what it is that constitutes an authorized christian ministry; and, entertaining the opinion, that their publication, with a view to a more extended circulation, would be useful in contributing to establish in the public mind, enlightened, sound, safe, and scriptural views of this important subject-we most respectfully request, that they may be presented to the public, through the medium of the press, in such form as you may prefer, and as early as may suit your convenience. |
