Excerpt from Christian Non-Resistance, in All Its Important Bearings: Illustrated and Defended Here is a little book in illustration and defence of a very unpopular doctrine. The author believes it to be as ancient as Christianity, and as true as the New Testament. But it is a doctrine little un derstood and almost everywhere spoken against. He therefore entreats his readers to divest them Selves as much as possible of prejudice, and'patiently examine what he has here written. He' does not expect every one to be pleased with what he has presented in this volume, not even those who ap prove of it as a whole. But he desires friends and opposers to be candid, just and generous; to treat the work as they would have one of their own (on any important subject) treated. He wishes no per sonal strain of panegyric from. Those who may think well of his Treatise. Let all glory - be given to the Supreme Source of wisdom and goodness. On the other hand, he hopes that those who may think ill' of it will be manly enough not to condemn it merely on account of its authorship. Let it be ap proved or condemned solely on its own intrinsic merits or demerits. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
