Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Life of Summerfield In this work, the writer has felt anxious to bring into stronger re lief, if possible, the religious and ministerial character of Mr. Summer field. It is the piety of this devoted man of God - his religious expe rience - to which he wishes to give prominence, (whether he has succeeded in this or not 5) it is his position and example as a Christian minister on which he mostly insists. If he has been so happy as to present these aspects of his character and life in a clearer and more impressive point of View, this work will not have been wholly in vain. The fire that burned within Mr. Summerfield's bosom he drew from heaven; and, if that kindles these pages, they will burn with a holy intensity. If not, as a smouldering fire they will consume away into emptiness and smoke. But the writer surely does entertain the hope and the humble but firm trust that this work will be useful, that it will tend to promote the glory of God, and that the'blessing of God will in an especial man ner accompany it. It is written with this intent, and no other. He has spared no pains, in the comparatively narrow limits within which he has restricted himself, to do justice, according to the best of his ability and judgment, to the subject of this work; and, to some extent at least, - if not to the full extent of his Wishes and hopes, - he trusts he has succeeded. It is, however, withr others, more fully than with himself, to decide this important Question, according to the gracious effect which the reading of the book may exert upon their hearts and lives.
