Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Edward Thomson: Late a Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church For over twelve years I waited for some competent person to write the life of my beloved father. Bishop Gilbert Haven, one of his greatest admirers, intended to do it, but his unexpected and premature death prevented the consummation. My step-mother undertook the work, but had gathered together only a few materials when the voice of the Master called her to heavenly employments. Two years ago some friends suggested the propriety of my embalming the memory of Bishop Thomson. I acknowledged that the work ought to be done, yet I deemed myself incompetent for such an undertaking. All who consider the subject will see that it is a very delicate matter for a son to write "the life" of his father, even though he may be possessed of more facts worthy of record than any other living person; and after undertaking this work, I shrank from it time and again. What my heart wanted to utter I could not say, fearing it would be regarded as too eulogistic. To prevent the raising of such an objection to the book, I have aimed to do three things: First. To avoid extravagant panegyric, to hold my pen from rhetorical display, and to make a simple, brief, and clear statement of facts.
