His published addresses, which are numerous, bear the impress of a mind which realized the importance and the excellent tendency of Masonic principles; there is a fervency of attachment to its teachings, which, emanating from so good, so true a Brother, was strongly instrumental in sustaining them when such support was so much needed; it cheered the wavering, it rebuked the vacillating, it crushed the demon of its opposition; and perhaps it is not too eulogistic to assert, that the name of Paul Dean will stand second to none on the roll of that fame due to those who dared to combat for the right, at a period when courage and constancy among Masons were in the minority. He periled all for truth, it prevailed, and, under the vine and the fig tree of its revival, resumption and diffusion, he was permitted to enjoy the results of the long continued contest and final victory.</ins></div></td></tr>

He held the atonement of Christ to have been sacrificially vicarious and meritorious, but not in the sense of penal satisfaction or appeasement of God's vindictive justice. Also, that it was the only ground of man's salvation, and designed to be completely efficacious for the reconciliation of the whole human race. It was seldom, however, that he expatiated on these doctrines, either in his public discourses or private conversation; preferring to use them practically, rather than as themes of polemical discussion. He rejected utterly the doctrine of endless punishment, and of any vindictive penalism; firmly maintaining the belief, that all the divine retributions, whether in this world or the next, are and will be mainly disciplinary, designed, with the accompaniments of atoning grace, to consummate the holiness and happiness of all human souls. He was equally decided and firm against the doctrines of no future retribution; immediate universal salvation at death; no sin in the soul only in the flesh; no real free moral agency in man; no intermediate state for souls between death and resurrectional perfection; no inborn immortality of the soul; and all kindred notions; holding that man will be the same responsible subject of moral law and discipline in the next life as here; that the conditions of spiritual regeneration will remain essentially the same, and that ages of ages may elapse with multitudes of souls, before Christ shall have subdued and reconciled all things to himself, so that God can be morally "all in all." These views he preached and contended for with marked distinctness, yet with uniform avoidance of obtrusiveness and controversial offence. As before stated, he was constitutionally and habitually averse to sharp polemical controversy, and only fought in that line when it seemed unescapable except with dishonor. The grand doctrines of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man he steadfastly proclaimed throughout his ministry, as fundamentals of the true Christian religion; though he was too cautiously conservative to agree with me in carrying them out into the radical, moral and social reforms in which I have felt it my duty to engage.

In 1806, he entered upon the duties of the Christian ministry at Montpelier, Vt.; from thence, in 1810, he removed to New Hartford, N. Y., and in 1813 he came to reside in Boston. He was for many years the pastor of the First Universalist Church in Boston, and, subsequently, was settled over the Bulfinch street church, where he officiated until by reason of his age and infirmities he was compelled to relinquish his pastorate for a less laborious and responsible field. In later years he resided principally at Framingham, employing his time in study, the cultivation of a small garden, and making himself generally useful, as occasion offered.
