Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A New Year's Address to the Congregation of "Trinity Church" (Free) Halifax, N. S
Two years have elapsed since, as your Minister, I addressed you in a printed pastoral letter, a custom which I have follow ed at various times during my ministry here and elsewhere. I am encouraged to do so again, by having heard that plain, as have been the words I have thus written, they have been gener ally acceptable, and, I hope, profitable, and the desire has often been expressed that I would continue the practice. Not that I can say anything new or striking, or differing from what you have heard from the pulpit Sunday after Sunday. But perhaps the same truths, exhortations and encouragements in print, will be more deliberately weighed, and, by repeated perusal, will be grafted more firmly in the heart than when preached in the church, or delivered in my pastoral visits to your places of abode. And especially as years roll on, and my season of work is advancing to its close, so as to make it doubtful whether I shall be permitted to put forth another biennial address, -i would wish once more to circulate among you the message which I have declared unto you from the beginning.
