Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Christian Spectator, Vol. 3: January, 1821
At no period since the commencement of this publication, has the union of the friends of these doctrines appeared more necessary; and the assu rances of friendly regard and assistance, which, from various quarters we have received, induce us to believe that at no period has this union appeared more probable. To illustrate the necessity of united effort, we need only remark, that the enemies of the doctrines of the Reformation are collecting their energies, and meditating a comprehensive system of attack, which demands on our part a corresponding concert of action. In addition to this organized system of attack, there are individuals in every part of our country who are filling the land with cavils against the doctrines of grace, calculated to unsettle the minds of multitudes, and if it were possible, to deceive the very elect. This ubiquity of indefati ble assault, seems to require a like ubiquity of inde fatigable defence. It not time then to lift up an ensign which may be seen from east to west, and from north to south, and to sound a trumpet of alarm which shall draw around the standard of our Captain the defenders of his faith? For our part, we cannot meditate on the preparations of the enec my without solicitude, or endure the thought that the battle axe should ring on the gates of Zion before a sentinel awakes, or a note of preparation is heard within.
