Présentation de l'éditeur

Hand-book is offered for promiscuous circulation, it is hoped not a few churches will have it bound up with their respective church manuals, thus giving the feeblest church the prestige of honorable association with its denomination, history, principles, and institutions; and the most effective means of making known, and defending their faith. W. W. Everts, Jr., contributed the first and sixth chapters of this Manual, besides rendering important assistance in preparing the other matter for the press. W. W. E.
