Eulogy and debate on Paine and Ingersoll at Salem church
Rev Byers cites Ingersoll and Paine to rebuke infidelity while praising faithful conduct. The discourse recalls Paine's character, cites Joseph Cook’s 1876 critique, and argues belief and conduct must be judged separately. It notes Paine's last hours and calls for charity toward believers and accountability for infidels.
