Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from From Jest to Earnest A Christian Editor, of a religious journal, stated, in effect, to his readers, some months since, that Rev. E. P. Roe had abandoned the ministry and was writing another novel. Then followed, I understand, moral reflections which reflected quite severely on the author of this book. I did not see the original article, but only the substance of it, as stated in The Independent, the editor of which journal I thank sincerely for his quasi defence of me and my motives. The Christian editor, no doubt, felt that he was in the way of duty in making the statement, and, therefore, I shall let it pass, suggesting only that in the spirit of fairness he might, at least, have said that Mr. Roe in his "novels" was not emulating Eugene Sue and others of that ilk. It is not agreeable to be misrepresented, even though it be done with the best of motives, and it would seem but common justice that, when a public charge is made, as public a hearing in self-defence should be given. And yet, I would not intrude this matter upon the public at all, if only personal considerations were involved. As it is, I have not replied through the press. I have not plucked the general public by the sleeve that it might listen, but I address those who, from reading my books, may be willing to give a thought to the writer and his views. If any have been led to think that I undervalue the calling of the ministry, the following pages will correct that error. God himself, in embodied personality, was once upon earth, and He was a preacher of righteousness. That fact, and not the opinion of one or of a generation of men, gives to the calling of the ministry its proper rank.
