Excerpt from The Augustana Synod: A Brief Review of Its History, 1860-1910In a review of our work of fifty years, while we discover humiliating proofs of a faith too feeble, a consecration too reserved, and sacrifices too reluctant, and would penitently confess that our efforts have been commensurate neither with the demand nor with our ability, yet we find abundant occasion for thankfulness to the God of all grace for the distinguished success He has given us in many fields, and on which, with singular copiousness, He has proved the blessings of salvation. And we acknowledge to the honor of our God that our review supplies abundant encouragement, in the form of success, to proceed in our enterprise with redoubled zeal and earnestness, and we desire to pledge ourselves to Him who has made our service pro ductive, and to one another as his servants, that, by the help of that Spirit who worketh in us mightily, we will rise to a higher standard of devotedness to the promotion of His cause on earth, and serve Him in the unity of faith.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
