Title leaf followed by printed limitation leaf: 'No. 4a | This Copy is Inscribed to Prof John Tyndall'.

Mallinckrodt was a Unitarian and free thinker, and this pamphlet, written in a light-hearted, entertaining style, attacks Moody and Sankey and all 'God-ologies': 'Mr. Moody comes to enlighten us on a policy of peace. [...] Hence it appears, - possible, not to say likely, that by the time Messrs. Moody and Sankey get to St. Louis, they will not only have revived one-half of the world but actually converted the other half. [...] there is an inviting hem-continent, almost unappropriated, between the Mississippi and the Pacific. The country holds forty millions, and has capacity, according to the President himself, for five hundred millions.' Reference to Thomas Carlyle as 'the Pope of Literature'. Signed in type at end 'UNITY. | ST. LOUIS, Thanksgiving Day, 1875.' Scarce: no copy on Copac or WorldCat, and the only copy traced at Yale.
