Excerpt from The Catechumen's and Communicant's Companion: For the Use of Young Persons of the Lutheran Church, Receiving Instruction Preparatory to Confirmation and the Lord's Supper This little Manual, which was first prepared ha my ministerial boyhood, and of which two editiom were printed in the short space of two years, has been frequently called for since, but not a copy could be procured. Twenty years ago it was highly recommended to the churches by some of our most valued ministers in a printed address, and the presumption is that those of them still living, yet retain the same opinion of its merits. The best evidence, however, of the esteem in which it has been held, is the sale of two large editions and the regular demand for it ever since. Ihave often been solicited to republish it, but have never con, sented until now. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
