Simeon Brown was the most memorable event in the history of the First Presbyterian Church of Lebanon's history. Held at the Church in front of the Miami Presbytery Rev. Brown was charged with unsoundness of faith for denying the doctrine of limited atonement. His beliefs which were cited in the charges included those that "Christ gave his life for the world and it is absurd to limit the word world to the elect." The Presbytery found him guilty and Rev. Brown subsequently wrote in his defense that "I maintained that our Lord Jesus Christ is a Savior provided for and sincerely offered in the Gospel to all who hear it but the Presbytery held that He is provided for the elect only." Found guilty of this one charge the sympathy of the public was chiefly with him and the members of his church were mostly on his side. Rev. Brown chose to separate from the Presbyterian Church and the trial led to the formation of the Lebanon Congregational Church.</p> Lebanon, Ohio: Printed at the Western Star Office, 1856. paperback
