EXPERIMENTAL PREACHING Stanford, April, 1840 My Dear Friend, I consider it the part of a friend to act as you have done in asking me for an explanation of what you consider me to err in, instead of following the multitude to do evil in spreading my supposed errors behind my back and concealing them […]
