THE following chapters were originally composed for the Christian Miscellany, and appeared in successive numbers of that valuable periodical. From a variety of sources, inclusive of his fathers and brethren in the ministry, as well as other friends, the writer received notes of approbation, assuring him that "NEGLECTED THINGS" were not only read with pleasure, but with profit also. It is moreover just to state that the kind requests of friends, with a desire to do good, and not a love of authorship, gave birth to the volume you now hold in your hand. We insert the following: "Dear Mr. Shelton," "I am glad that you are going to publish in a separate form, your papers on 66 Neglected Things." To peruse those papers, and carry them through the press in the Christian Miscellany, was to myself a most agreeable occupation, because every one of them was likely to be useful. For this alone we wish to preach and write. May God bestow his blessing on your labour." "I am, most truly yours," "W. H. RULE, D.D." |
