Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Polk County Baptist Association: With History of Churches, Biographies, Southwest Baptist College, Articles of Faith, and Church Covenant Second. Its complete identification will comprise the origin and progress of the churches whose messengers compose the as sociation. Third. The autobiography and illustrations of pioneer and veteran ministers who operated within its bounds, together with memoirs of many of its illustrious messengers. Fourth. In addition to the preceding history, it is thought to be an important and necessary element in the faithful render ing of its annals to incorporate the origin and progress of the Southwest Baptist college, which has figured largely in the pro gress of the association and churches. Fifth. Many other cotemporaneous facts and biographical notes, such as shall afford pleasing relief to the consideration of dry statistics, will have due mention. If, however, any apology is due for the foisting of another book upon the attention of an indulgent public, it may be had in this quotation: And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her. And the highest himself shall establish her. The Lord shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Ps. 87. With what profound interest do we regard the place of our nativity, the tottering steps of our infancy, and the unselfish care of those to whom we owe our present existence and prospective happiness. As in the natural, so in the Spiritual world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
