Linus Smith Everett

Linus Smith Everett was an American Universalist minister and editor active in the 1830s and 1840s. He published An Exposure of the Principles of the "Free Inquirers" (1831), took part in a printed discussion on eternal punishment with Robert J. Breckinridge (1836), and delivered a reply at Salem, Massachusetts, to M. H. Smith's renunciation of Universalism (1840). He edited several Universalist papers, among them The Universalist at Middletown and Hartford, Connecticut, The Evangelist at Salem (with John M. Austin), and the Western Evangelist at Buffalo, New York, and compiled the hymn collection Sacred Songs (1843). His birth and death dates are not well established.

A compact collection 'adapted to social religious meetings, Sabbath schools, and family worship' by Linus S. Everett — the minister who also edited John Murray's autobiography. Made for the informal side of church life rather than the Sunday service, it belongs with Vestry Harmonies and Devotional Melodies in this collection as part of the social-worship repertoire.
