Excerpt from Fall River: An Authentic Narrative
There is another way too, in which it is hoped and pre sumed this work may prove useful -as a salutary and time ly warning to young women in the same situation in life, in which the ill fated girl was placed, who is the subject of this narrative. On many accounts it may benefit. That baneful disposition to rove, to keep moving from place to place, which has been the ruin of so many, will here receive a check. And what is more important still - though an extremely difiicwtsubject to treat upon so as to be understood-they will be warn ed, by the fate of one, against that idolatrous regard for min isters, for preachers of the gospel, which at the present day is a scandal to the cause of Christianity; which neither honors God or benefits his church; and certainly is calculated to bring reproach and ridicule on the christian character. To venerate the ambassador of the Most High, and listen to him with respect, while in the sacred discharge of his ministerial duties, is right and proper to contribute to his relief in'sick ness and support in health, of our abundance, or our personal exertion, if necessary, is likewise our duty; but here let us stop, and not make ourselves, and the cause we profess to be engaged in, ridiculous, by such attentions as mortal man ought never to receive.
