Présentation de l'éditeur

The thought of writing a book wherein should be told the simple story of my unimportant life has but recently suggested itself. Truly the motive has not been ambition, nor the end sought the selfish one of fame. I care not how soon my humble name may perish, if from its ashes there would earlier spring a wreath of glory for my Masters name. If the world asks an apology for my temerity, I give it in the simple wish to inspire some drooping, fainting soul with fresher life by the example of my own. If I have magnified my follies, it is that the forbearance and mercies of my Lord may appear, and if my blessings, only that the goodness of the Father may be seen. As Milton sdaughter took the story of Paradise Lost from the lips of her blind and sainted father, so has my story been patiently sketched from my lips by my generous friend and brother, Rev. J. P. Watson, whom I gratefully present to the reader as the editor of this unvarnished work. May the reader find here a fountain that shall yield one cooling, refreshing draught at least, and a table on which a few crumbs of nourishing bread shall be found. I ndeed, that at least a single soul shall find peace in believing and sweet rest in Christ from its perusal I humbly ask as a boon from Heaven. This much, and the authors toil, hath ample compensation. Though in blindness I have sown these humble seeds, yet with clearest vision shall I wield the sickle in the harvest morn. May you and I be reapers with the angel8. A. J. S. Pleasant Hill, Ohio, October,
