An incomplete manuscript by Edward Hitchcock of his sermon "The religious bearings of man's creation." The first page contains two introductions to the sermon, one intended for the Theological Society at Dartmouth College, as well as a list of the dates and locations that Hitchcock delivered this sermon between Spring 1854 and January 1856. This portion of the sermon stresses the importance that the listeners take up the mantle of building "moral railways" throughout the country, bringing Christianity to the ignorant and the sinners.
