Amherst Jan 17th 1852 Mr. N. Kendall, Dear Sir, Nearly two months have elapsed since I saw you last and it realy seems a long time. Although it has passed rapidly. You will perhaps expect to hear from me soon & in account with my promise I sit down this afternoon to write a letter. Letters from absent friends and acquaintances are always very acceptable to me here at College. I often wish I had more of them. it affords me such comfort and satisfaction to read them and often to re-read them. I hope therefore that among your many correspondent you will not fail to afford me as early a reply as your time & convenience will permit. I had deigned previously to this to take this opportunity to offer in brief some the reasons for a few of the opinions which I hold respecting some particular scriptures doctrines. Opinions which I freely admit I have been brought up to believe in, but which perhaps are not the less likely to be true on that account. I am willing to admit that I regard most of the creed usually called Calomistic as true. I am aware too that there is a good deal of prejudicial ?- many of the articles of that and as for example Endless punishment Vicarious atonement. Total Depravity & Regeneration. Still we ought to remember that truth does not always wear those specious garbs of beauty & delight with which we often would be glad to array her. It is too often the case even now perhaps that "many say peace when there is no peace" While I believe that there are many pleasant & beautiful realities, I also believe that there are many terrible and awful realities. With regard to all these topics of course we have only to inquire what the Bible teaches & bow at once to its authority no matter if we can not understand we must yet acquiesce in its assertions. With reference to whether Christ is equal with God I will simply refer you to the following passages. The 1st chap. of Heb.. particularly the 8th verse. & no. 5. 18 & 17.5 1 Tim..3.16
