Excerpt from The Church for Americans
As the origin of a book is often of interest to the reader, I will explain that this work is along lines, which, as a Missionary, I have followed for many years in my addresses and conversations concerning the Church. I was first induced by the request of the Rt. Rev. Dr. Leonard, Bishop of Ohio, to elaborate my talks into formal lectures, in the hope that they might contribute in some degree to the excellent preparation which our Missionary recruits are receiving at the Divinity School of Kenyon College. After their delivery to the Theological students, it was thought that they would not be without interest to Sunday School teachers and others who now and then are called upon to commend or defend our beloved Church. Accordingly they have been made the basis of Lenten discourses to general congregations in Trinity Church, Toledo, and the Cathedral Parish, Cleveland. Finally, I have been persuaded by the representations of many who heard them that, if published, they would make a useful book for distribution among those who have been reared under Denominational or Roman influences, and supply the need, often felt by Lay readers and young missionaries, of a course of Confirmation instructions about the Church.
