Three-Quarters of a Century

Excerpt from Three-Quarters of a Century: In Which Is Incorporated the Jubilee Record of Congregationalism in South Australia In the following pages the compiler has endeavoured, as was requested of him, to bring the Jubilee Record up to date, and thus mark the event of completing three-quarters of a century in the history of our Churches in this State. He has endeavoured to handle the task in the same reverent spirit in which it was handled by Mr. Cox. With what success the reader must judge. The labour has been made considerably easier by the orderly manner of the arranging of the material of the former work. Care has been taken to adhere to the titles of the chapters adopted by Mr. Cox, and the divisions made by him of our suburbs and districts. Chapter VII. of the Jubilee Record appears here as Chapter VIII. Additional chapters appear in which an account of our work on behalf of the London Missionary Society is given, the stories of the life and work of some of our ministers are told which could not rightly appear under the heading of any one Church, and some reflections are added by way of drawing our task to a conclusion. I have refrained as far as possible from altering the text of Mr. Cox's work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
