Excerpt from Christian Purity: Or the Heritage of Faith
Reader, what is the great object of life? Is it not to he good, and to do good, and thus to glorify God? I am sure I should do you great injustice to suppose you capable to return any other answer. But this sentiment is precisely my apology for presenting you the following treatise. No other consideration would have brought it before the public. Its author has no other object to subserve - no other aim to gratify. It comes to you on a mission of love, with a sincere desire for your welfare, and a single intention to promote it. He wishes to do good, and would avail himself of the widest means. I know you will commend the object - I trust you will approve the method. He might have contented himself in his ordinary pulpit and private ministrations; but then he reflected, that possibly he might extend the sphere of usefulness by employing other agencies. If he reaches thousands with his voice, he remembered, that he might reach thousands more with the pen. If he impresses a few in public assemblies, and in friendly circles, he reflected, that he might reach others in their retirement, and impress them in their solitude.
