TO THOSE HEARERS OF THE LATE REV. WILLIAM HUNTINGTON, S. S. CIRCUMCISED. CHRISTIAN READERS, THE gracious and undeserved providence of God having made choice of, and called me forth, to publish the Works of your late Pastor, which trust my conscience bears me witness I have faithfully executed to the utmost of my ability, and who has also further extended his goodness towards me in mmitting to my care many valuable letters of his; with lively feelings of hope and confidence I most respectfully dedicate the Gleanings of the Vintage to you. To those friends whose hearts God inclined to favor me with letters written by your deceased Minister, to copy, I beg to express my sincere gratitude for that tribute of respect to his memory; not only on my own account do I tender it, but also on behalf of the church |
