Read the Introduction by Rev. Robert Maguire, D. D.

Black Flag

"The Black Flag.—And now the “three burning bolts” are exposed to view. But Mansoul takes no heed to the calls of either Mercy, Judgment, or Execution. And yet IMMANUEL hesitates to fulfill the demands of Justice. The thunder-bolt is balanced, but it is not launched. Mercy still holds back the red hand of Judgment, and still entreats the town—“Be ye reconciled to God.” But in vain; for Mansoul answers with a refusal of surrender."[2]
