Dedication

TO MY CHRISTIAN FRIENDS.

who, firm in the faith themselves, can nevertheless respect the convictions of others ; to earnest Christians whose spiritual trust and faith is so perfect, they have no fear any fact can disprove truth, or human error annul the divine law ; to Christians whose character honors their creed, whose fairness and honesty command regard, while their kindness and courtesy inspire fraternal love; to all who love truth better than their own conceit ; to all who reverence God more than any theory ; to all who seek the good, the true, and beautiful themselves, and devoutly labor for the welfare and eternal happiness of humanity, I dedicate this volume.
