Description
Excerpt from Revivals of Religion: Their Theory, Means, Obstructions, Uses and Importance; With the Duty of Christians in Regard to Them
The object of the present volume is, to meet the necessity here indicated. How far it does so, is for others to decide. We have written as we preach, for the common people, and not for the fastidious and critical. If our humble suggestions shall prove useful in bringing them to a better knowledge of duty, and more efficiency in promoting the work of God, our highest ambition will be gratified.
The physical adaptation of the work is worthy of notice. The books named are comparatively large. Some Christians would hardly have courage to grapple them, who might be induced to read one of less dimensions. They are also expensive beyond the capacity of many to purchase. Here, too, we have aimed to choose the better course.
In conclusion, it remains to make our acknowledgments to Almighty God for the interest we have been enabled to feel in the revival of his work, and for the privilege of making this little effort in its behalf. We acknowledge our indebtedness, also, to the great and good men, to whose writings we have alluded, for many valuable suggestions. Though we do not acquiesce in all their views, we have perused their works with profound respect and veneration. May the great Head of the church accompany these pages with his blessing, and make them subservient to the object for which they are sent forth to the world.
