Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Church of God During the Period of Revelation I have been encouraged by the favorable Opinion expressed both by ministers and private members of the Church to whom the character of the work has been explained. These last - for whom I have specially written - have been pleased to say, that if successfully executed, it Would prove such a History as would be particularly profitable to them. It would indeed be doing good service to prepare an acceptable and useful History of the Church for the mass of the people of God; and he who is enabled to ao complish that work should esteem it a high honor graciously con ferred upon him. Our Ecclesiastical Historians are read only to a very limited extent by our Church members; consequently but a few are familiar with the details of Church History. The importance of such knowledge to them no one can for a moment question. But it is looked upon as a department above their line of reading and study, and more properly belonging to learned Doctors of Divin ity, and to accomplished scholars. We may go further and say without offence, that many ministers, even, pay but little attention to this great subject. The venerable Dr. Miller, of Princeton, used to observe to our class, that a minister who was a good Church Historian, would never be at a loss for a Sermon or a Lecture. When certain controversies arise in the Church, for the time being the Historians are much sought after: but when the battle is over, the armor is returned, and the books are closed like old arsenals.
