Excerpt from The Kingdom of Christ: Its Ultimate, Complete and Universal Triumph Over Evil, in the Subjection and Reconcillation of All Things to GodThe following sermons, with the exception of the eighteenth and nineteenth, were originally preached in St. Thomas's Church, Madras, and it is, in part, at the request of many who heard them that they are now published. The sermons are therefore printed almost word for word as they were preached, it being thought that by retaining the pulpit style of address and discussion they would be more acceptable in the reading to those who had been interested in hearing them.But although I have been induced, in the first instance, to publish these sermons by the request of members of my late congregation, still I confess that I am desirous of testifying more widely than could be done by any spoken discourses to the great truth, as I believe it to be, of the final universal triumph over evil of Christ's kingdom in the subjection and reconciliation of all things to God. There are very many, I am persuaded, among the clergy (not to speak of the laity) who have long since in their own hearts discarded the notion of endless torment, and have ceased to preach it, though they may not formally and publicly have declared their rejection of it. There are many too, I have reason to believe, whose minds are opening to the reception of the blessed doctrine of the Restitution of All Things. Every additional published testimony, then, on this subject will, it may be hoped.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
