A brief religious piece by WS Edson from 1909 reflects on judgment and repentance as the Book of Manasses prayer in scripture prompts moral reflection. The sermon notes divine accountability and personal conscience, urging readers to seek salvation.
The piece parallels Manasseh’s sins, punishment, and repentance with Israel’s history. It cites Psalm 106 examples of idolatry and rebellion, noting God’s mercy, Moses’ intercession, and the Law’s consequences. It concludes that, as a man sows, so he reaps.

It contrasts spiritual release with personal holdbacks and notes that withholding leads to lesser blessings. It also offers a home remedy for a cold: rub the bridge of the nose with Vaseline at night and snuff warm salt water.
The text portrays Manasseh as a highly wicked monarch of Davidic lineage who repented and was restored but not buried with kings. It notes Ahaz’s burial in a garden, his name denounced for atrocious acts, including sacrificing sons to Moloch. It cites Chronicles and Kings, detailing idolatry, fires in Ben Hinnom, and revival of Baal and Ashtaroth under Solomon’s influence.
