Excerpt from The Churches of the New Testament This book was conceived twenty years ago in my first pastorate, the First Baptist Church of Temple, Texas. It was in contemplation two years in my second pastorate, Gaston Avenue Baptist, Dallas, Texas, and has been waiting fifteen years longer in Richmond, Virginia, for the time to clothe itself in written form. Denominational, civic, and pastoral duties closed every door of opportunity for the proper preparation of the manuscript. Two smaller books, born of special providences, preceded this one. The summer of 1920 was solemnly set apart for the purpose of writing this book. Because of unexpected and unavoidable interruptions it then became evident that the book would never be written if it awaited a time of leisure. All the while its message was sounding in my soul. One day the voice said, "Let me speak amidst the distracting voices of daily duties and in the quiet hours of the night while other voices are hushed in sleep." In this way the manuscript was finally prepared. "The Church" and "The New Testament Church, " whatever those terms may mean, have been the subjects of treatment by several authors. These books, for the most part, leave me where Tacitus left his hero - in the middle of the bridge. The Seven Churches of Asia addressed by the Spirit in the book of Revelation are the theme of several interesting volumes.
