"Whoever occupies a station of moral influence--a station where his labor lies among the most perilous material with which man can intermeddle, the affections and dispositions and wills of other people--must have amazing self-reliance or deplorable callousness, if he is not frequently crushed down by the solemnity of his position."

REV. JAMES HAMILTON.

  • "By cool Siloam's shady rill
  • How fair the lily grows!
  • How sweet the breath, beneath the hill,
  • Of Sharon's dewy rose!
  • "Lo! such the child whose early feet
  • In wisdom's ways have trod,
  • Whose youthful heart, by influence sweet,
  • Is upward drawn to God."

PERFECT history, including the events of many years, has not been written. Man does not in anything easily attain perfection.

A good degree of accuracy may be attained in historical research; but written records, made at the time the events took place, may bear some traces of the imperfections of human observation, and the recollections of past events are liable to be more or less imperfect.

I believe this book is the first of its kind in the State of Indiana, and have endeavored to make it as accurate and as near to perfection for such a work as the circumstances would permit. T. H. Ball.
