Excerpt from Bluffton: A Story of Today
The incidents of this story are chiefly facts. This is specially true of those things that may to some readers appear forced or exaggerated. The facts, however, do not all belong to any one place, nor to the experience of any one person.
The people who live in Bluffton will doubtless recognize some touches of local scenery; but, if they look to find the characters among their friends and neighbors, they will most certainly be mistaken.
By bringing out in strong relief some of the evils of one phase of religion, and some of the good of the opposite, the writer would not be understood to assert that the evil is all on one side and the good all on the other. He has simply emphasized those things that were essential to his present purpose. Good and evil are both human, and not confined to any one religious type.
