BAM'S HORN BLASTS Repentance and Alcohol as Vicious
A fragmented sermon-like piece contends the blood of murdered fruit and grain links to alcohol, urges personal discipline, warns against self worship, and argues for moral conduct. It portrays light as non coercive yet decisive, endorses thinking to save men, and critiques liquor's social power.
Witty Parsons and Colonial Church Humor Recalled
The piece recounts Reverend Witty Parsons of Quincy and stories of the Lexington church. It cites generous acts by ministers erasing unfortu nate names from tax lists and a deacon tasking elders with horse care, illustrating colonial church life. It also notes British India population figures and literacy, agriculture reliance, and rising per capita taxes.
