Excerpt from Memoir of Rev. Stephen R. Smith
But the soul that burned within him was superior to bodily infirmity, and flashed and blazed forth from a. Frame so attenuated and slender, that even those most familiar with him were perfectly astonished by the vigor and sweep of his transcendent intellect, the youthful play of his fancy, and the strokes of his wit. His talents and genius would have commanded admiration in any profes sion and any circle; but they excited wonder when con templated as Springing out of obscurity, and nourished in a. Body so bloodless and feeble.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a riveting and insightful memoir of Rev. Stephen B. Smith. Born to a poor farming family in Rhode Island towards the end of the 18th century, Smith led a life of hardship, punctuated by bouts of truancy and disobedience. Despite the challenges he faced, Smith had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, pursuing his education independently and excelling in arithmetic and geography. Smith's world was turned upside down with the arrival of secular texts that made him question his religious beliefs. Yet, amidst this spiritual crisis, a sermon by Hosea Ballou at a small gathering by the Mohawk River in upstate New York kindled a spark within him, setting him on the path towards Universalism. Smith became a dedicated advocate of the doctrine of universal salvation, and at the age of 23, he felt a deep sense of duty to spread its message far and wide. Despite Smith's humble beginnings and lack of formal theological training, he became a prominent minister in the Universalist movement, dedicating his life to spreading understanding, love, and compassion through his sermons and writings.
