Through the medium of your paper it is
wished to call the attention of your readers
and of the christian community to sermon,
which has lately issued from your press, de-
livered by the Rev. David Damon, at the
close of his ministry in Lunenburg. With
the characteristic simplicity, perspicuity,
consistency, and force, of this excellent wri-
ter, he has reviewed his preaching and min
istry. Itwould be singular occurrence, if
In these days of religious dissention his
entire view of christian truth, as it has been
preached by him, should be universally ap-
proved. We can give the assurance, that
nothing is to be found in this sermon incon-
sistent with charity, or which can give just
cause of offence or grief We think on the
contrary that all candid christians will ac-
knowledge themselves edited by the peru
sal, and will sympathi2e with society, sepa-
rated from minister in the midst of his
days and usefulness, so well qualified and
disposed to enlighten and improve them.
The public are informed that the sermon
is for sale in the Bookstore in this town, and
in the stores in the neighbouring towns.
