REV. JOSEPH FIELD'S LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE
Come! ye who deem yourselves so pure- To Truth and Justice bow! You've shown your zeal too long I'm sure-
Come! show your knowledge now! Ye boldly say, it profits naught To seek our House of Prayer; Ye say, there's naught but morals taught- There's no Religion there!
And say you this without a blush?
And of your neighbors too? Henceforth let all our tongues be hush-
Religion dwells with you!
Then teach us your religious faith! In charity impart;
O tell us what the Bible saith-
We'll learn it all by heart! To say "Atonement should be taught,
But that's kept out of view;"
Not so! Christ's blood Atonement wrought,
Our Preacher says so too!
"He preaches Morals! nothing more, Which are of small account;" But are they not what Christ before, Once taught upon the Mount!
Go! bring that sermon to your view!
Then say, are Morals naught?
I fear ye never read it through- Or, maybe, have forgot!
"Judge not!" I think you can't deny, Is in that sermon shown; And never search your neighbor's eye,
Till you have cleans'd your own! Some say, that plunging saves from harm- Send sprinkled souls to hell!
We don't believe the quantum charm Since tantum does as well!
Now comes a solemn charge! ye say, There's no Religion there! What is Religion? tell us, pray- If James did not declare? Religion pure and undefil'd The Apostle says is this! To visit every orphan child And Widow in distress-
200
HISTORY OF WESTON
To show the world's deceitful ways, And live unspotted here! Exactly what our Preacher says, In words distinct and clear! And therefore, he must stand or fall, With James th' Apostle sure! If ye believe the Saint at all,
Our Preacher is secure!
He preaches pure Religion then!
And this ye can't deny;
Or else, his preaching's all in vain,
And James has told a lie!
There's one more charge I yet perceive-
Ye think a weighty one!
The Triune God we don't believe
Nor Christ-Eternal Son!
But surely we a Saviour need,
To wash our sins away! A Mediator, who will plead
For such as go astray!
Our Heavenly Father answers well
As God of all supreme! And Christ we cannot spare at all,
To make a God of him!
That Christ was sent to mediate,
Himself declares is true!
Is Christ your God! then plainly state
Who mediates for you!
And here I'll let the subject rest.
You feel fatigued I know!
You cannot answer now the test-
But will to-morrow though!
I wish I could believe that all Your words were kindly meant;
The road was bad, and we might fall!
You spoke with good intent!
But much I fear 'tis no such thing! I think I plainly see, That these ill-natured charges spring From want of Charity! And when you find yourselves inclin'd To censor us at all; Just call the Saviour's words to mind And let the weapon fall!
