Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Autobiography of Bishop Henry Clay Morrison
A biographer is too often prone to lift a mortal to the skies or draw an angel down. And if the editor of this book had written a biography instead of editing an autobiography, no doubt he would have dipped his pen in his heart, painted pictures in colors too gorgeous, and blurred the record by extravagant statements. As it is, we have the simple story of an active life, written without ostentation and without self-laudation, its life lessons glowing on every page for the good of rising generations and those that are yet to come. The subject of this sketch has acted his part in many stormy periods of the Church that tried men's souls. By many he has been loved and revered, by some mis understood; and it is expected that he should say something in justification of his conduct in certain vital emergencies, and he presents his case without rancor, simply letting the facts, as he understands them, speak for themselves.
