Review of Baird’s Two Sermons.
By D. H. Lamson
THE above is the title of a new work from the pen of Bro. Waggoner, containing sixty-four pages, price 10c. The two sermons were delivered by Rev. R. J. Baird of Armada, the then pastor of the Congregational church of that place. He has now, however, accepted a call from Portland, Mich., and removed to that locality. “The Two Sermons” were but a bundle of sophisms, and are in this little work most completely exposed. It would be well if all our people could furnish themselves with the pamphlet, as there are some valuable criticisms on the Hebrew text of the fourth commandment and also Gen. 2:2, 3. I do not know of a published work that discloses so plainly the weakness in argument of those who oppose the Sabbath of the Lord. It would be of less value, were it not for the fact that the sermons of Baird, besides being delivered orally, were put in print, and are being circulated freely wherever Congregationalism has obtained a foothold. The sermons were reviewed close upon their delivery in the tent at Armada, to the satisfaction of many by Eld. E. B. Lane. Had they not been published, their influence would have been fully met. But being scattered everywhere, we say to all, Get the “Review” for general distribution. D. H. LAMSON.
