Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Fathers of the German Reformed Church, Vol. 6: In Europe and America In the Providence of God, the Rev. Dr. Heisler was not spared to complete the present volume of the "Fathers," begun by him, but has himself been numbered among them. And the pleasant task, as he was pleased to term the preparation of "these sad memorials of our sainted brethren," has fallen to the lot of another, the labor of completing and issuing the work having devolved upon the undersigned. An unusually large number of the ministers of the Reformed Church in the United States have been removed by the hand of death in the first eight months of 1888. With one exception, all were aged men, who were well advanced in years when called from the labors and trials of the Church militant to the rest and joys of the Church triumphant. Six of the eleven thus taken away had been honored with the title of Doctor of Divinity, indicating that they had been prominent in the service and affairs of our Church. Among this number is found the name of him, who for many years, by appointment of the Church, had charge of preparing sketches or short memoirs of the Fathers of the Reformed Church, who had fallen asleep in the Lord, and issuing them in volumes 3, 4 and 5 of Lives of the Fathers of the Reformed Church. After preparing, as he supposed, matter sufficient to form the present volume of the series, he commenced to write the preface to the volume, but after penning the word Preface, he laid down his pen, never to take it up again and finish what he had designed saying in it.
