Excerpt from Sermons and Other Selections From the Writing of William C. Hanscom: With a Memoir by J. G. Adams

When he became confirmed in 'this faith, it was as fire shut up within him. He could not rest in silence, while its glories were continually brightening and enlarging in his expanding mind. He had not believed in haste, nor on trust, but in the purity and sincerity of an honest heart, drawn by persuasive, convincing argument to the truth as it is in Jesus. Hé perceived that the doctrine which he had espoused was one of the utmost importance to mankind, and that its holy influence was needed to Operate for good on the human heart. He wished others to see as he had seen the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus the Lord, - to become acquainted with that gospel which is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile. He desired to be a preacher of the recon ciliation. As days and months passed 'away, he found this desire continually increasing. It was uppermost in all his thoughts and meditations, in all his wishes and prayers. It was the inspiration of truth, prompting him to declare its power to other minds, as it had been com municated to his own. It could not be resisted.
