Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discourse Delivered Before the Autumnal Unitarian Convention, Held at Salem, Mass., Wednesday Evening, October 20, 1847 Fear not, said Jesus thus telling us in the first word of the text, amidst what visions of danger, and difficulty, and death, its promise was uttered. Not one opposing influence in human nature or in human passion, not one possibility of suffering for his sake, was forgotten then. What method. Of spiritual victory did Jesus see at that moment, when the shadow of his own cross already dark ened his path, when the persecutions, the stake, the crowns of thorns, the cross, awaiting his fol lowers, too, passed before his View? What were those elements of unequalled power in his teach ing, which made him announce so serenely then, its universal triumph?
