Excerpt from Sermon: Preached at Washington, Connecticut, November 20, 1864 The undersigned, for themselves and in behalf of your friends in Washington, would hereby solicit that you allow the Discourse delivered before us on Sunday, the 20th instant, to be printed for circulation. We desire this, both as a personal favor to us, and because we believe the sentiments therein expressed, and the policy advocated, eminently proper, and worthy of careful consideration by the people at large. Gentlemen: - Your note of to-day, requesting my Sermon of the 20th for publication, lies before me. I am glad that the views therein expressed meet your approbation. You are pleased to suggest that a more careful consideration of them than could have been made at the hearing, would strengthen the cause of true progress in your midst. I trust this may be the result, and I surrender the Sermon to you, in the hope that its publication may serve both to encourage and direct the people in their efforts to secure a popular and efficient ministration of the Gospel among you. May the Lord sustain you in your endeavors, preserve you from differences and undue timidity, and so order it that future generations, whose religious opportunities are now being decided, may rise up and call you blessed. In this hope do I lovingly dedicate these lines to all who love me in Washington. It is proper to say that I have had no time to make a careful revision of the Sermon, and that not a line in the MS. is omitted.
