Présentation de l'éditeur
Hudson were gathering at their church, which stood on the sloping side of a hill. The mountain summits around were crowned with snow, icicles hung glittering from the trees, and the river lay bound in fetters ;but this did not prevent the assembling themselves together of the people. Sleigh-bells jingled merrily up the slippery ascent, boys were seen stamping the recent snow from their feet as they entered the porch, while the careful students of comfort deposited footstoves in their pews, with the quick salutation of a wintry day to their neighbours, as they pulled to the doors with an extra effort at closeness. The venerable preacher, who, careless of the frost of the season, entered with the rest, was one of the last of the good old race, now gathered to their reward, who had wrestled body and soul for his countrys freedom. His first prayer was concluded, and, descending from the pulpit, his gray locks falling gently forward, with a tremulous voice he said, Let the child be presented for baptism.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
