New Testament Christianity, Vol. 1

""When I was a young preacher I had a great horror of plagiarism. This led me to fail to use many a good book's contents, for fear that some of my members should have a copy of it. This book and its contents can be freely drawn upon without any such fear. The articles in this book have, most of them, been out of print for half a century.

There are only a few of this generation that have ever seen them. Besides, they are not private property, but the legacy of us all.""
