~ Professor Upham writing of a
celebrated writer, who had given those directions to his son as
to the manner of conducting with foreign ministers.
Thomas Cogswell Upham ( 1799 – 1872 ) was an American philosopher,
psychologist, pacifist, poet, author, and educator. He was an important figure
in the holiness
movement.
The
holiness movement refers to a set of
beliefs and practices emerging from 19th-century Methodism, and to a number of evangelical
Christian denominations who emphasize those
beliefs as a central doctrine. The movement is distinguished by its emphasis on
John
Wesley's "Christian perfection" teaching—the belief that it is
possible to live free of voluntary sin, and particularly by the belief that this may be accomplished
instantaneously through a second work of grace.
