Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of the Baptists in the Western States East of the Mississippi The Committee of Publication of the American Baptist Publication Society considers itself especially fortunate in having secured a History of Baptists in the Western States east of the Mississippi from one whose personal knowledge covered so many of the important movements which he has chronicled. The only defect in the volume arises from the relation of the author to the history. There is no account of Dr. Smith´s share in the work of the Baptists in Illinois during the forty years of his life in that State. The Committee cannot consent to give to the public a history with no other reference to Dr. Smith´s part in the events, quorum pars magna fuit, than a meagre mention of dates. His influence in giving form and pressure to the various denominational movements in Illinois can hardly be overestimated. That influence arose partly from his position as editor of "The Standard," still more from an unselfish public spirit, a judicial cast of mind that gave his opinion great weight, and a sweetness of temper that made all men his friends. Dr. Smith entered on his editorial career at a most opportune time. Only twenty years had elapsed since the organization of Chicago as a town. Ten years afterward, in 1842, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota, were yet Territories. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
