Excerpt from The Financial History of the American Province of the Unitas Fratrum and of Its Sustentation FundThe financial history of our ecclesiastical Province and of its Sus tentation Fund is so complicated and therefore difficult a subject that I would not have ventured to take it up, if I were not convinced of its importance, and if I did not believe that it will prove to be of special interest at this present time. It is important, because we must under stand the past, if we would realize the necessities of the present, and our duty in view of them. It is interesting, because nothing shows more clearly, on the one hand, the faith which our fathers had in God's answers to prayer, and in the aid which He grants those who commit into His keeping, with the same implicit trust, both their spiritual con cerns and their temporal affairs, and, on the other, the singular and mutual confidence which prevailed, that no private ends, but only the good of the Church and the glory of the Lord, would be furthered by the men who administered its funds.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
