Excerpt from Common-Sense Christianity: Being Many of the "Congregationalist" Articles For many years the fortnightly articles by Dr. Quint have been one of the attractive features of The Congregationalist. Many of these articles have been suggested by questions of Christian casuistry or church administration, or concerning Christian doctrine and experience - questions received by him in a very extensive correspondence. Over his profound legal and ecclesi astical knowledge, his keen insight into human nature, his kindly sympathy, his piety, his delicate sense of humor, and his inimitable style have combined to give these papers a somewhat unique place in current literature. They have now been gathered into a volume, partly in fulfilment of a purpose which he had in mind, and partly in response to the requests which have been coming for many years, and which have become urgent since his death. He long held a place without a peer in the Congregational.denomination as an interpreter of its history and its usages. He was a counsellor widely sought by those in perplexity or need. His words often banished doubts, illuminated dark places, gave hope and cheer. Those who have read these papers will prize them the more in this permanent form. Others, we are confident, will find here much to enjoy, and much to uplift and guide. May this book perpetuate the usefulness of a noble man, a wise Christian leader.
