Description
Excerpt from Autobiography of Charles Force Deems D.D., LL. D: Pastor of the Church of the Strangers, New York City and President of the American Institute of Christian Philosophy and Memoir
If the autobiographical notes appear at times too compla cent, let all blame attach to the editors and not to Dr. Deems, for he wrote for his family only. In our work we have omitted his sermons and many letters and articles written for the press, because of the abundance of such materials, there being enough for another volume. Nevertheless, whenever we could tell the story of his life in his own language we have done so, thus striving to let him speak for himself.
Being his sons, we have attempted no elaborate estimate of Dr. Deems''s character and work, but have either quoted from the estimates of others or left this matter to the judgment of the reader. We take this opportunity to thank all who have sent us letters or other material, thereby aiding us in our work.
We now send forth this book on its mission of love, trusting that it may enable our father, though dead, yet to speak.
