The Tendencies of Poverty and a Plea for the Poor
A sermon preached at John street Chapel Royston on General Thanksgiving for cholera mitigation argues for Christ's gospel to the poor as real help. Barrett recalls his Guiana missionary work aiding liberated slaves and urges churches to invite the poor to Christian life and worship rather than rely on tract distribution. A second brochure, Don Cregan, mocks rogue personalities with satire and a tale of bank fraud, depicting currency, receipts, and threats in a perilous negotiation.
