Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Social Dancing Inconsistent With a Christian Profession and Baptismal Vows: A Sermon, Preached in the Presbyterian Church, Columbia, S. C., June 17, 1849
To the Members of the First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, S. C.
Beloved brethren: The following Discourse, delivered in your hearing a few Sabbaths since, is now submitted to your perusal at the earnest and united request of the Church Session.
I desire here to record publicly my thanksgiving to God that the sentiments herein advanced have met your almost universal approval. Thus havei been saved from my fears; as the Sermon was preached with much weakness and trembling. _in this I rejoice the more, as it gives assurance that, so far as vain pleasures are concerned, you will strive in your behaviour to put a visible difference between those that belong unto the Church and the rest of the world aiming to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present evil world, and making no provision to the ?esh to fulfil the lusts thereof.
