Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Memorial of the Rev. James W. Dale Not long after Dr. Dale´s death, a warm friend and former parishioner of his, with the sanction of the family of the deceased, requested the writer to prepare a suitable Memorial of his life and labors. Only vaguely aware of the difficulties involved in such an undertaking and prompted by a strong personal attachment, and deep appreciation of the sterling qualities of the man of God, so lately caught up from among us, he was led, at once, though not without misgivings as to his fitness, to accept the task thus imposed. In the prosecution of the work, the conspicuous absence of such material as usually falls into the hands of a biographer soon became apparent. Marked and influential as the life had been, the written records from which to construct an adequate Memorial are almost wholly lacking. No diary was kept. No memoranda of personal experience remained. Only occasional dates of events, and a few letters to his family and friends, had been casually preserved. Dr. Dale was a very reticent man and seldom spoke of himself or his personal affairs, except to his most intimate friends, and even to them with a lingering flavor of reserve. For instance, he carried on his remarkable researches on the subject of Baptism, by day and by night, for twenty long years, without ever saying to a human being that he was making a book, until he had gone over the whole ground of the Inquiry, and his first volume was ready for the press. The following narrative has grown largely out of more than twenty years of personal intercourse, begun when the writer was a student, and afterwards, for a while, a teacher, in the "Media Classical Institute." A friendship, the benefits of which the writer has ever since appreciated and enjoyed, then sprang up. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
