Sermon in the city

Front Cover
Gould and Lincoln, 1854
"One of the most interesting portions of the present work, is that relating to the vast labors of Antoine Court, one of the very few pastors left in France, and called of God, while still very young, to the great work of calming and reoganizing the disturbed elements of Protestantism. It is shortly after the period of his labors that our story commences. Paul Rabaut is now the leading spirit of the French churches, and in his movements, and the fate of those connected with him, lies a part of the interest of this work"--Preface.
