In sending out this little volume to the public, to meet the criticism to which I know It will be subjected, I want to disclaim for it perfection. It is merely the result of a few spare hours from a busy minister's life.
As you will observe, there is no deep plot to be found. This was purposely avoided. I was dealing with a consecrated Christian character, and I intended simply to show how providence could and would lead such a soul, and to show the influence of even one consecrated Christian upon a community.
The story is based upon facts. Belfour is a real place, and remains much as described in the story. Grace is no imaginary being, and old man DeLuph and Uncle Hiram have lived and blessed their community very much as the story relates. The suicide of Mr. Daveny is a real occurrence, as are the other incidents mentioned. And the story is true as detailed. The many conversions recorded are not creatures of fancy, but are real.
The object of this little book is to help young and inexperienced Christians to meet trials with Christian fortitude, and to overcome them; also to help sinners seeking friendship with God to know more of His nature and requirements; and, by a persistent seeking, to find Him precious to their souls. If even one soul should be saved as the result of this little book, I shall feel that all labors expended have been rewarded a thousand fold.
So, adieu, my friends, until we meet with Christ.
J.W.T. Jesup, Ga.
