Excerpt from Church Polity: A Practical Treatise on the Organization and Regulation of the Kingdom of God on Earth, as Set Forth in the New Testament
The author claims some special fitness for his task, but wishes his work to stand exclusively on its merits as a scriptural presentation of a timely topic of much practical, if not vital, importance.
The aifn has been to be accurate in thought, clear in statement, and comprehensive in treatment of the subj ect in hand, without tediousness in detail or attempt at exhaustive ness of materials in reach. There is no pretense of original ity in ideas, or language in which they are expressed. Some times authorities are cited and their language is copied without specific credit being given or usual quotation marks being used, that the manifestation of the truth may com mend itself to every man's conscience in the sight of God' without prejudice.
