In full: "I hear that you read a delightful paper at the Purity Club on Monday Evening. As I was unable to be there I wonder if you would let me have the pleasure of reading it. With kind regards. Yours sincerely." Lawrence (1850-1941), an Episcopal bishop in Massachusetts, was a "liberal" Protestant who generated great controversy by questioning the virgin birth of Jesus.

Godliness is in league with riches." Fine condition. - Please contact us if you have any questions or require additional information. DOCUMENT 56727
