Book Description
Excerpt from Memorials of the Rev. William J. Shrewsbury HE preparation of these Memorials has been a severe tax upon my heart. If I am not self deceived, my frequent disquietude has not been about my reputation as the biographer, but lest I should fail to do justice to the memory of one who, I hesitate not to say, had less than justice done to him while living on this earth. Knowing how rich his life was in God-glorifying incident, and the artless and beauti ful simplicity of his style as a writer, I importuned my revered father, personally, and by means of influential friends, to give to the Church and the world an auto biography; but he firmly refused, saying, more than once, I have made noise enough in my time: let me go quietly home to God.
