36 REV. F. D. HUNTINGTON'S PAST DAY SERMON. 



was terribly severe at the expense of Bai-num and Burn- 

 ham ; with the errors pf neither of whom, on this occasion, 

 can I conceive he had any special (fall to concern himself, 

 directly. 



But, "God, who is the Judge of all," will set the mat- 

 ter right between us, both in this and in the life to come. 



In response to the Eev. Mr. Huntington's kindly-worded 

 letter to me, I will not omit to add, in conclusion, that so 

 far as his motives were concerned on the occasion to which 

 I have taken exception, I do not now hesitate to acknowl- 

 edge my belief that he judged he was " doing God service " 

 in the character of his discourse. But as there are two sides 

 to opinions, usually ; and as /think his course was erroneous 

 (however honestly intended), I have deemed this brief re- 

 view of that portion of his Fast Day sermon which related 

 to me and my humble book, both necessary and just, to 

 myself and my readers.
