Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Story of My Life In putting forth this volume its author has yielded to the insistent desire of many of his friends. It is now some five years since he retired from the more active work of the ministry; but that ministry in its unselfish devotion to the service of mankind, in its entire and unchallenged loyalty to revealed truth, in its loving, glad consecration to the will of God at the cost of sacrifice and hardship, holds a large place in the grateful memory of thousands who will hail with delight the appearance of this volume. It is, we think, to be regretted that some other pen than his own has not given us the portraiture of his life, for only so could it be true to that which men have seen of him in the arena of conflict with evil, and which many now see in the repose of a mission well-nigh accomplished. His pen refuses to record the traits which give luster to his life - the things long since recorded in the memory of those who have known him best, and things now seen in his attractive and beautiful age. In the "Address of Welcome to the Orator of the Philisonian Society" we see the style which marks the man of seventy-eight years. It is interesting to trace the identity of mental trend and habit through all the productions of his pen from "The Prize Essay" to "The Story of My Life." There is development, increase of power, extension of outlook, but mental habitudes are the same. Whether it be the young man of twenty-three or the veteran of seventy-eight, his approach to his theme and his method of handling it are identical. The average man begins his literary life with a composite style which is neither his own nor another´s. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
