Excerpt from Library of the Theological Seminary
IF the readers of this little book derive even one half the inspiration from it that the writer has de rived from his personal, or his indirect, acquaint ance with those whose lives are briefly told herein, the book will not fail of its purpose.
It is an excursion into life, life of varied scope and significance, particularly for the sake of young men whose eyes are eagerly scanning the road ahead, and who want to win to the uplands in clean and straightforward fashion, without trampling others under by the way.
The men of this book had no easy time of it, as each followed God's imperative call to his own soul. How they fared, and how others fared because of them and their obedience, is in each case a very plain and practical exhibit of effects produced by known causes.
These men proved by their deeds that one's busi ness or profession and one's religion are partners which are able to get on eminently well together, for big ends in varied service.
