Excerpt from Life of J. B. Jeter, D. D
In presenting this volume to the public, I beg respectfully to accompany it with several brief explanations.
Soon after Dr. Jeter's death, it was announced that I had undertaken to prepare his biography. It happened that I encountered difficulties in the prosecution of the work, which compelled its temporary suspension. Happily, these obstacles, at length, were removed, and, during last autumn, I was enabled to resume my cherished task. The material formerly collected for the work, has been of great value, but it is due to myself to say, that all the original matter in this volume has been written during the last five months, and that too, in the midst of the cares and interruptions of a large pastorate.
The reader will be pleased to learn in advance, that many of Dr. Jeter's "Recollections of a Long Life," which appeared in the Religious Herald several years before his death, are reproduced in this work. Lack of space has rendered it necessary for me to omit some of these racy and delightful papers, but I have been careful to incorporate all that possessed any special historical interest.
In preparing this biography, I have received valuable aid from various sources. As these kindnesses have been acknowledged in the course of the story, I need not mention here the names of my helpers. As I had to draw freely on my own resources for material, I trust that my personal candor will not be mistaken for egotism.
And now in the fear of God, and with a desire to help the living, as well as to honor the dead, I send forth this book to its fate.
