, of Salem, " On the Doctrine of the Trinity. " I had not before so much as heard that this doctrine held a place in the creed of the Christian Church. I read the pam- phlet with intense interest. The arguments upon which the doctrine was based appeared to me to be entirely inconsistent, one disproving another, 34 and the whole at variance with my established ideas of the teachings of the Christian Scriptures. In the spirit of an inquirer after the truth, I wrote a review of the sermon, based o...n the authority of the New Testament, in which, to my own mind, I invalidated the theory advanced in the publication. This review was in the form of a letter to my friend, and constituted part of a correspondence that was continued until death interrupted the intercourse. From this incident in my life, — why should I not signalize it as an event in the providence of God ? — I infer, and infer with a good deal of confi- dence, that the doctrine of the Trinity is not a doc- trine of the Scriptures, but a doctrine of education, and that it is mainly, if not entirely, dependent upon the almost irresistible power of education for the prominent place it holds in the Christian world.
