Sermons And Essays Of Rev Sumner R Mason PDF Download

Excerpt from Truth Unfolded: Sermons and Essays of Rev. Sumner R. Mason, D. D The family Of which Samson Mason was the head, was quite eminent in the early history of the Baptists in New England. Of his sons, Isaac was a deacon of the second Baptist Church in Swansea; Joseph, during his ministerial life, was its pastor, and three of his grandsons, sons of Pelatiah Mason, were pas tors Of the same church at different times. When all North America, says Backus, was ceded to Great Britain, a church was formed out of this church, with Nathan Mason as their pastor, and they went and settled at the head Of the Bay of Fundy, but after some years they removed back to New Eng land, and most of them went and settled in Berkshire, in the Massachusetts. It is here we find Pelatiah Mason, the imme diate ancestor of the subject of this sketch, and the head of the clerical branch Of the family. In the quaint and scriptural family record, the line of descent runs thus Sumner Redway Mason was the son of Eddy Mason, the son Of Brooks, the son Of Russel, the son of Pelatiah, the son of Samson.
