D.R. Biddlecom letter to Nathaniel Stacy, 1836.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/367865140

Manuscript letter to Rev. Nathaniel Stacy in Michigan Territory regarding preaching and religious persecution. Perrysburg, Ohio, 28 December 1836. The writer proposes that "Father Stacy" meet him at a point midway between their respective homes, that they exchange horses and return to preach at one another's congregations. (". . . they will want to hear the word spoken in the strength of the wisdom of age . . .") Biddlecom writes that Perrysburg Universalists have suffered at the hands of the Presbyterians, Baptists and Methodists. "I have had to sustain a most violent assount from the Enemy ... they showed themselves to be most bitter. Bless me! ... The arrows of slander were thrown thick & fast at first, but you know there is nothing to be feared from them while we have the shield of faith ."
