Publisher's Synopsis
From the Preface:
This hand book has been written at the suggestion of one of the most successful ministers of our Church, who wanted something of the kind for his Young People's Societies. It is dedicated to Christian Endeavor Societies, Brotherhoods of Andrew and Philip, Heidelberg Leagues, Sunday Schools, and Consistories, hoping that by it they may gain a more intelligent idea of the grand history of our Church. We need a revival of our historic consciousness. If we would make our people faithful to our Church, they must know her history. It is hoped that the sesqui-centennial year will aid in this. This booklet, therefore, has been published as a Coetus edition. Of course, everything is brief: but it is packed with facts, put in popular form so as to be easily read and used. Its price will, it is hoped, place it within reach of all our members. At the end are questions, so that it can be used as a text book by any of our organizations in their meeting's.
