Excerpt from The Contrast: Evangelicalism and Spiritualism Compared When, in the preface to another volume about four years 'since, I' promised this, I had no thought of keep ing my friends in waiting so long. But this is a busy life, and especially a busy age and other duties have pressed so. Continually, that, until now, I have not been able to answer this demand Of my friends. Had it not been for acts Of injustice On the part Of false brethren, I could not even now have found the time to have prepared this volume. One unrighteous act, that stripped me Of the most Of my earthly posses sions, gave me time to write these pages. Though the press gave me a severe castigation for once before stating that my thoughts were hastily thrown together, I must repeat the Offence the same is true of this volume. I have written this book in little snatches, on the cars and in boarding-houses, never having lost the opportunity for a single lecture.
