HIS book is not for sale. It is for gratuitous distribution among preachers of the Christian Church. Its purpose is twofold:

      1. To let our preachers--especially our young preachers--get a clear insight into the aims of the Restoration movement. 2. To arm them for the defense of that movement. When I was a young preacher I had a great horror of plagiarism. This led me to fail to use many a good book's contents, for fear that some of my members should have a copy of it. This book and its contents can be freely drawn upon without any such fear. The articles in this book have, most of them, been out of print for half a century.

      There are only a few of this generation that have ever seen them. Besides, they are not private property, but the legacy of us all. I am contemplating the issue of four or five other volumes of a similar character for free circulation. These volumes will make a compendium of Christian Church literature. After reading this book I should be pleased to hear from you regarding its value, and, especially, the propriety of issuing other volumes of a similar character. If you need and want them, say so.
