Sunset Echoes

In this little volume I present a series of articles written for various religious papers during years past; in this way giving them a more permanent form, and putting them where they may reach some who have never seen them. As it is not given to any man to know everything, I believe it wise for men to confine themselves largely to mastering the truths relating to their profession or life work.
My reading, thinking and writing during the past fifty years have been confined largely to evangelical truth, as related to the teaching and work of the Gospel minister. I make no claim to originality, and have no speculative, or novel notions; but have studiously sought to gather truth from every available source, and wherever I have found a clear, strong, important truth I have made it my own; and have thus filled my mind with Gospel truth, and incorporated it into my writings and preaching.
The reader may find some repetition in some of the articles, and may have seen some of them, or parts of them in various periodicals for which I have written. I trust the sentiments, principles and doctrines presented will be found helpful and useful. That they may do good and no harm is my prayer in giving them this book form.
