Preface.
To Mrs. Eddy, his widow, we are indebted almost wholly for the materials from which the book has been prepared. She brings this offering as a tribute of affection to the dear one gone, having determined to devote any profits that may arise from the sale of the work to the missionary cause, which he loved so well, and to whose service his last years were given.
We believe that the story of this noble, consecrated, intensely busy life will be a blessing to all who come to know it.
