Excerpt from Our Holy Hill: "The Hill Which God Desireth to Dwell In, "Mrs. Ruth Slater, Madam: - To you I dedicate this volume. I should have no misgivings in thus using your name, without permission, were I confident that the work is worthy of such an inscription. Still the sentiments herein contained have already received your approval as they have been presented in our sanctuary. More than fifty years has your home been in this place, and as I learn from the records, for more than forty years have you been a member of this church. It had not been in existence four months when you were baptized and received into its fellowship. The Rev. Daniel Waldo, now eighty-four years of age, was its organizer, and for some time its acting pastor. In a letter, which I received from him during his recent chaplaincy at Washington, he speaks most affectionately of this church and village. Of the latter he remarks, that it was for him a favorite retreat when he had been toiling in less pleasant fields, and that your husband's house was a "delightful home" to him. He adds, that it would be a "beautiful oasis" in his life to visit Slatersville once more. Alluding to the church, he styles it a vine of God's "own right hand's planting." Having expressed an earnest wish for its great prosperity, he concludes his communication thus: "This is the desire of your brother in Christ."About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
