Excerpt from Tenure of Church Property
The substance of these papers appeared in the Church man in May of the current year. Many words of appro val have reached the writer from all parts of the land, for which he is most grateful, and the wish has been expressed that they be republished in more permanent form. In compliance with this wish this edition has been issued. To many legal gentlemen, especially, would the writer return his thanks for their appreciation of his labor, and to one of their number, a stranger, is he indebted, in part, for the means to meet the necessary expense of republication. The papers have been care fully revised, and some new matter added, especially reports in regard to incorporations in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico. Some account of action already taken in twenty-eight or thirty dioceses will be found. Surprise has been expressed that so much has been done, and the drift going on in the Church is clearly indicated.
