Excerpt from Anecdotes and Illustrations of the Christian Ministry Nor is this a book for young ministers merely, or a book for ministers of only one denomination. It is a genuine evangelical alliance. Here are ministers from all quarters, and of all orders Churchmen, Dissenters, Methodists, and Presbyte rians, Baptists and Quakers, Bishops, Elders, Dea cons, and Licentiates. Neither is it designed for ministers only. While its title is appropriate, and descriptive of its charac ter, it is hoped and believed it will prove instructive and interesting in any Christian family into which it may find its way. That it may be numbered among that class of books which are properly denominated useful, is the devout prayer of the compiler.
