About This Book

This collection gathers devotional and patriotic poems alongside an appended treatise on regeneration and the eternal duration of matter. Many pieces reflect millennial expectation and scriptural narrative, imagining the gathering and restoration of Israel, the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the Temple, and the return of scattered remnants; others recount personal experience—missions, farewells, imprisonment during persecution, natural landscapes from Niagara to the White Mountains, frontier encounters, and missionary labors. Occasional historical sketches and hymns give voice to lamentation, deliverance, and hope, while the closing essay offers a theological meditation on matter, renewal, and eternal continuance.
