Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Joshua Davidson Christian: The Story of the Life of One Who, in the Nineteenth Century, Was "Like Unto Christ;" As Told by His Body Servant In the fall of 1897, just as Mr. Jones was moving from North Abington to Halifax, he read me the opening chapters of a work he had had in mind for twenty-five years. As it was his purpose to make it a complete statement of his teachings, and as I was interested in the beauty of those chapters, I urged him to complete the task. During the next six years I kept exhorting him to finish Joshua Davidson. From time to time he sent me parts of the manuscript, and I made some suggestions. In July, 1903, he had the writing done, and at his request we had four conferences of several days each, and went over the whole matter. All the while it was my purpose to cut nothing but words. When the end came, the manuscript was in the hands of the publishers, and when Mrs. Jones asked me to take charge of the work of publishing, I did not expect to do any work on the text; but as a portion of "manuscript A" was missing, and the part had to be supplied from "manuscript B" the duplicate copy, I have endeavored to reduce the copy as much as possible by eliminating words, and cutting out repetitions. No restatements have been made. Many repetitions have been allowed to remain, in order that the doctrine might be presented fully from the several points of view. I am in no way responsible for the views, or the statement of them. Joshua Davidson is purely a fictitious character, who has been made to utter the teachings to which Mr. Jones devoted his life. At the same time, it may add some interest to know that Joshua Davidson is what Mr. Jones conceived that he himself might have been, but for certain "constitutional defects," to use his own words. I have endeavored to discharge the work faithfully, regarding it a sacred trust committed to me by one who was my pastor, my teacher and who, during many years, was as true a friend as man can have.
