First ripe fruits of faith: a collection of tracts and sermons

This 18th‑century volume gathers a set of religious writings by the Rev. John M. Mason, including a short memoir of the author and two sermons. The material centers on Christian faith, ministry, and the spread of gospel message in New York and beyond, with biographical notes that illuminate the author’s journey from Scotland to America and his work among early Presbyterian and Secession communities.

The included memoir frames Mason’s influence as a pastor and teacher, while the sermons reflect themes of evangelism, moral responsibility, and practical faith in daily life.
