Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Woman Workers: Biographical Sketches of Women Eminent in the Universalist Church for Literary, Philanthropic and Christian Work Then followed the thought. How rapidly their names are growing dim? How soon it will be difficult, if not impossible. To rescue the data of many of their lives from oblivion. Even in the next generation much that is now obtainable will have gone beyond recovery. Would that some pen might be employed in the delightful task of recording their life-histories. And giving to others who love the church they loved. At least a brief compendium of their lives. With this thought came the im pulse to begin the pleasing work. And as my inquiries have extended the materials have increased. Until they became to me what I am sure they will prove to be even to those most familiar with the history of our church. A revelation. Causing mingled surprise and delight. In preparing this book I have greatly needed courage for the delicate task of writing the full truth of the loving and tender work of those who are living; to write it in such a way as not to fall below the credit due. Them. And in so doing not to bring blushes upon their kindly faces by seeming flattery. Indeed. I have tried to imagine them all as dead. That I might speak the truth with a clear con science. And I do not believe I have in any one instance overstated the estimate of those who knew her. I say this because I have found some who were uncon scious that they had done aught deserving of mention. My earnest wish has been not only to refresh the memories of Justice-loving people. And preserve a record of the Christian devotedness and mental abilities of our women. But to do. As nearly as possible. Exact justice. To their relative worth. I had intended to print my sketches chronologically. But found it impossible to keep up with the printers. And prepare the articles in chronological succession. And therefore the plan was soon abandoned. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
