Excerpt from The Stay and the Staff Taken Away: A Sermon Preached at the Church in Brattle Square We behold a vast multitude whom no man can num ber. Their voice is like the sound of many waters.

It is another, and yet the same. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
