Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Pillars in the Temple, or Sketches of Deceased Laymen of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Distinguished as Examples of Piety and Usefulness: Chronologically Arranged
HE sketches of the men whose narratives are recorded here we have felt were too valuable to be lost.
An earnest desire to embody them in a per manent and available, form for the comfort and satisfaction of surviving friends, and the spiritual benefit of all who may be pleased to read them, led to the conception and execution of this work. This, indeed, has been the all inspiring thought.
Next to the Bible, religious biography con tributed more to my salvation in childhood than all the other books I ever read. Never while memory endures can I forget its in?uence in molding my character, and shaping my destiny when a Sunday-school boy, more than forty years ago.
