"Defence of the 'Appeal.'"--Page 25-48. "Christian friends and brethren:--The publication of a paper, called 'A counter appeal," which has been widely circulated throughout the New England states, and elsewhere, makes it our duty to lay before you the document upon which the remarks contained in that paper, are said to have been founded. We have before informed you, in the 289th no. of Zion's herald, that the document against which this 'Counter appeal' has been published, was not originally designed for the public generally, but only for the preachers who were members of the same conferences with ourselves. But now, as a few of our brethren whom we addressed in our Appeal, have felt it their duty to publish their protest against it ... we have presented it on the preceding pages for your candid and prayerful consideration."
