Excerpt from The Promised Glory of the Church of Christ Acknowledged evils abound on all sides; the world is groaning under them; while increasing dangers thicken all around us. Those who do not with careless indifference disregard everything but present pleasures and present profit, all those who really seek permanent good for all men, cannot but desire to have a sure guide to that good. There is one society in the world, and but one, which already possesses that good, and has divine security for its enduring and everlasting glory; and that society is the true Church Of Christ. The object of this treatise is to induce the reader to join truly and fully this blessed com.
