Riassunto

Excerpt from The Reformed Mennonite Church: Its Rise and Progress, With Its Principles and Doctrines

T is not necessary to say much, by way of preface, to the fol lowing work, further than to give a short explanation of the motives which led to its undertaking. Knowing that but few read ers would agree with me in sentiment, and that I have not the ability to produce a work which would bear criticism, as a lit crary production, together with the disadvantage of being much interrupted by other duties, has made the labor one of much anxiety, and caused it to be attended with many discouragements. The idea of such an undertaking never occurred to me, until it was suggested to me by others, to whose solicitations I was induced to accede. Much advantage would have accrued, if the work had been engaged in only a few years earlier. Those who organized the Church, with all their associates, have been gath ered to their fathers, and of those who were intimate with them in life, few are remaining, and they fast passing away. The younger members of the Church, who have not had acquaintance with the circumstances which brought about the forming of them selves into church order by these reformers, naturally felt a desire to have' some reliable history of these events, so that after the departure of the few yet remaining who have knowledge of it, they would be able to refute any unfounded assertions or reports which might be originated. This desire seemed so reasonable, and I may say commendable, that I felt myself constrained to endeavor to gratify it to the extent of my ability.
