A propos de cet article

Yellow paper wrappers with no lettering on front or spine. 5 1/2" x 9." Fifteen pages, complete.

"Printed at the Request of the Boston Association of Congregational Ministers." This is a sermon or an address by N. L. Frothingham, Pastor of the First Church of Boston.

Cotton is considered by many historians to have been the most influential preacher in the early days of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Cotton was a Puritan but also played a significant role in the founding of Congregationalism. Cotton's Thursday Lectures were open to the general public in Boston and became very popular. He is credited with helping increase church attendance and bring people to Christian faith in early Massachusetts.
