Excerpt from Paganism Not Abolished in the Roman Empire, or the Christian World: A Lecture Brethren and Friends: - The announcement made in the proposition demands a few preliminary thoughts, and I trust you will bear with me while I give expression to the same. I sorrow that there should be cause necessitating such a discourse in this enlightened nineteenth century, and especially in this our country, which has so long been the pride and glory of the Reformation - emphatically, Protestant America! I appear before you an anti-Ritualist, but before proceeding, desire you to understand this position is not taken by me for the sake of being an anti-Ritualist, much less for publicity, notoriety or sensational advantage. I have shaken off the charming incumbrance of Ritualism (that weight of ages), and stepped to the front in defence of primitive and apostolical Christianity! But I purpose not, either to disregard aught of existing good which may be found in all parts of the Church, or to appear as an apologist for one or more of its parties. I simply come before you to reveal and warn against the secret, underlying current of Ritualism - fast reaching its way into the professed Protestant Church.
