To seekers of the kingdom of God

[Edinburgh], 1850. Pamphlet. Near Fine. 4pp. Octavo [22 cm] pamphlet; unsewn. Minor age toning and staining; else Near Fine. We are able to locate four institutional copies at the time of cataloguing. Rare. According to Crawley "Dunn notes in his diary that he composed 'To Seekers of the Kingdom of God' on June 28 and 29 - midway through his stay in Edinburgh, about seven months before he left Great Britain to return to America. A proselytizing tract intended to convince the unconverted of the validity of the Mormon message, it consists largely of biblical quotations leading to the conclusion on the fourth page that Jesus is the king of the kingdom heaven, that Apostles are the officers of the kingdom and the gospel is its laws, that this gospel is faith, repentance, baptism by immersion for the remission of sins, and the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost, and that miraculous signs follow those who have obeyed the gospel. Nowhere does this tract mention the Latter-day Saints; one knows it is a Mormon piece only because of Dunn's name at the end." Crawley 497. Flake/Draper 3045.
