Excerpt from The Church, Its Ministry and Worship: Being a Reply to the Recent Work of Rev. Montgomery Schuyler, on the Same Subject The general character and design of this volume may he understood from the title page. It is necessary only to remark, that by "the church" is not meant the Episcopal church, nor the Presbyterian church, nor any church of a sect, but the church of Christ. The term is used in its general and catholic sense. It has been the author's aim, in opposition to the erroneous statements and incorrect reasonings of the book which he reviews, to present and defend the true scripture doctrine concerning "the church, its ministry and worship." He trusts that nothing will be found upon his pages unbecoming the serious and important theme which he has in hand. Toward the gentleman who occupies the position of an opponent, he entertains no other feelings than those of kindness, and would deeply regret the cause, whatever it might be, that should serve to interrupt the pleasant neighborly intercourse with him, which he has hitherto enjoyed. He can truly say that no offense was taken at the freedom of that gentleman's strictures on his sermon, and he feels confident that none will be given by the exercise of a similar freedom in return. Some apology is due for the size of this book. Nothing of the kind was intended by the author when he began to write.
