FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. Rev. Whitefoord Smith (1812-1893) was a Methodist minister from Charleston, and a professor of English a Wofford College. The occasion of his sermon was the national day of fasting and prayer declared by President Taylor in response to the cholera epidemic. Smith declares that the scourge was the result of God's punishment for various sins, including greed (for territorial and monetary gain), the "licentiousness of the press," and sabbath breaking. In 1849, the second great cholera pandemic reached American and killed thousands, including former President Polk. President Taylor would himself succumb to the disease the following summer.
