Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life, Labors and Sermons of Rev. Charles Pitman, D.D., Of the New Jersey Conference To rescue the names and memories of great and good men, from that oblivion which the surges of this worlds activities, and the sweeping marches of time, seem, as if by destiny, determined to cover forever in the shadows of an eternal night, is the work of men in each generation of a passing century. And thus it becomes our duty to hand down from one generation to another an account of their lives, and a record of their acts and usefulness, and to keep in a chain of successive and unbroken links, the biographies of eminent Christian men of the past, and the present. The subject of our biography was one of the most extraordinary men of his age, or that the church has ever produced. His life, character, and attainments, which we trust, cannot fail to make a profound impression upon the young and old in this day and generation, marked our hero as a champion of the cross, and as a bold and powerful defender of the faith once delivered to the saints. We hope his lofty ambition, and noble, self-sacrificing life of toil, will not only serve the cause of truth and righteousness, in elevating its standard in the minds of men, but that his example may stimulate others in their toils and efforts for a noble and useful life-service in the cause of Christ, and lead them justly to appreciate the sacrifices he made, and diligently strive to imitate his excellencies and self-denying example of godliness, and religious zeal. We have been anxiously waiting for years, for some one to write this biography, and give us an account of this great and good man; and at last, becoming "weary of waiting", and in this period of partial cessation of our ministerial life, as a temporary relief from the pressure of its more arduous duties, and as a recuperative of exhausted nervous force and energy, and amid a pressure of correspondence for several of our religious journals, and other literary matter, we have ventured to take pen in hand and do what we could from the material left by Mr. Pitman to write his biography. Biography is one of the greatest needs of the Church. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
