Abstract
Sermon notes by Edward Hitchcock for a sermon delivered at Amherst College on February 14, 1861 on the views and feelings necessary to cultivate religion and have success in converting others. Mentioning 1 John and several other epistles, Hitchcock highlights two prominent necessities for religiousness: deep conviction in the cardinal truths of the Gospel connected to the doctrine of incarnation, and deep conviction in the reality and power of personal religious experience. Hitchcock defines the three cardinal truths tied to incarnation as the depravity of man, the necessity of God in regeneration, and faith in Christ, and suggests that those who find success in converting others know these truths through their personal religious experiences. Hitchcock has written related hymns on the last page.
