In offering to the Church the result of my labors in revising and improving The Turner Catechism. The same having been done under the authority and instruction of Bishop W. F. Dickerson, Chairman of the committee ap pointed by the General Conference of 1884, to prepare the manuscript of The Catechism of The A. M. E. Church, for reasons which he himself sets forth, I desire, first of all, to commend the wisdom and interest of Bishop Turner which led him to give to our children the first Catechism e'ver prepared especially for their instruction; also to pay a tribute to his unselfishness in voluntarily consenting to have the title of his Catechism changed in the manner in which I have chosen. It is but just to say that The Turner Catechism has been fruitful of blessed results, and that it was given to the Church at a time when there was an absolute necessity for such a publica tion. It has gone forth and not returned void. May the memory of its author be cherished by the Church to the remotest generation, by remembering that those who teach should obey their own instruction.
