Abstract
Sermon notes by Edward Hitchcock for a sermon delivered at Amherst College in April 1835 discussing the ways in which one may ensure he will go to hell. Hitchcock lists these ways, such as not believing the doctrines of the Bible and not admitting one's own sinfulness. Hitchcock also discusses ways that a person who is performing the correct acts of Christianity, such as observing the Sabbath, may still be on the road to hell. For example, one who attends mass looking to find fault with what is preached or one who sleeps or reads the newspaper during mass. Hitchcock then admits to his congregation that he once behaved in all these ways but God interposed and helped him to see the truth. Matthew 8:13 is quoted.
