Excerpt from A Plea for Greater Unity He has been rejoiced to find that many others have been thinking earnestly and deeply along these lines. He has found indeed that unity is considerably in the air. In the prepara tion of this volume he has felt free to use the fine and vigorous expressions of conviction made by others on special phases of the discussion, and has interspersed the volume with numerous quotations. He has done this not only because others were saying things better than he could, but also to indicate the vigor.

Excerpt from A Plea for Christian Unity and a Book for Everybody In the meantimei'read' all the relig'iohs, atheistic, agnostic, 'and infidel literature that I ocul'd get hold-'of. I have, therefore, had my mind considerably stirred'lup', confused, {and filled with so much cha ' and dress that I had to sweep'a'side the whole 'of'it' and begin to sort out what my reason, intellect and common sense would ap prove.

Excerpt from Church and Congregation: Plea for Their Unity Congregationalism will dare to consign to God's dis pleasure and to future woe any persons simply be cause they have not accepted the elements? Why, a man like Kane who has made himself emphatically the person of our day, whom we know not whether to call hero or saint, Christian indeed as he was, yet such technically by right of birth and baptism alone - would on this principle be among the lost, instead of making north pole and tropic town alike two of the long steps by which all his earth-wandering be came the straightest and most direct road to highest heaven.

Excerpt from If Christ Came to Chicago: A Plea for the Union of All Who Love, in the Service of All Who Suffer Seventy thousand copies of this volume were ordered in America before a single copy was issued from the press in Chicago. Owing to my refusal to allow any but Union labour to be employed in producing the book, the binders were at first unable to cope with the demand. But as I did not think that 'If Christ came to Chicago' He would go to sweat shops for His printing, the public had to wait till the Union binderies overtook the demand. The opportune refusal of the American News Company and the Union News Company to handle the book until the Black List was cut out somewhat relieved the pressure. As the Companies possess an absolute monopoly of sale on all the railways in the United States, I cut out the list. I did this the more readily because the interest in the Black List was so strictly local to Chicago that I did not think it would be worth while reproducing it in the present Edition. The difficulty of meeting the American demand renders it impossible to procure copies from Chicago in time to supply the English market. I have therefore reprinted it on this side; and this volume, written in Chicago, printed in Edinburgh, and published in London, is typical of the unity of the English-speaking world. It is perhaps hardly necessary for me to say more than a word in presenting this book to the readers in the Old World. Nothing can be further from the mark than to represent it as an attack upon Chicago. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
