Excerpt from Letters to Thos; A. Morris, D.D: Senior Bishop of the M. E. Church The first ten of the following series of Letters were published in the "Christian Record," commencing in November, 1859. In this way they were widely circulated and extensively read by the Christian brotherhood, and others who felt an interest in the important issues discussed. When we reached the tenth number in the series, we became satisfied that we would have to place them in tract or book form for general circulation. The voice of the brotherhood, as conveyed to us in numerous letters, seemed to demand this; and we yielded to the wishes of many brethren and friends. These Letters as published in the "Record" produced quite a sensation upon some of the friends and admirers of Bishop Morris. We heard of one case, where a member of the M. E. Church borrowed the "Record" containing one of these letters, and when he had read it, he became so much excited that he threw it into the fire, in order to destroy the letter! But this was an exceptional case. We have abundant evidence that many were induced, by reading these Letters, to search the Scriptures, and were led to embrace the truth. We have therefore added several new letters to the series, and revised the ten that appeared in the "Record," and now offer them to the public in this little volume, which is cheap and within the reach of all.
