Reminiscences In The Life Of Elder T C Townsend As Written By Himself Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Reminiscences in the Life of Elder T. C. Townsend, as Written by Himself The author lays no claim to notoriety, or erudition, sufficient to attract the enlightened public of this age. But, having passed seventy-five years in this sinful but otherwise beautiful world and knowing that he must soon leave it, and some reminiscences in his life'be lost to posterity, and being persuaded to the arduous task by some - especially his old friend and blind editor, I. M. Dixon, of Des Moines, trusting that some humble follower of the Lord Jesus Christ might profit by his long experience in this world, as also his half-century experience in the Church to this end he has solemnly written this little volume. He has aimed to avoid personalities as much as circumstances would permit - so much so that some good stories are spoiled for the want of names. He has aimed to give facts, and let them stand for their worth in the estimation of an enlightened public. If, in any instance, he has erred, an intelligent and charitable public will attribute it to the want of recollection at this advanced age, rather than a disposition to vary from the truth. He claims to have the highest good of his fellow man in view. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
