Excerpt from Sermons by Thomas Wetherald: Delivered in the Friends' Meeting, Washington City, March 20 and 27, 1825 But what will that religion do for us, in that day, when this mortal must put on immortality, and this corruptible must put on incorruption? Is there an individual, who has not experienced the operation of the spirit in his own mind, and, who has not, at times, felt a concern for his everlasting welfare? Are there any, who cannot testify that they have, when on their pillows, had serious reflections; and in their solitary hours been led or induced to aspire, unto the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for know ledge and wisdom?
