Book Description
Excerpt from The First Lieutenant's Story, Vol. 1 of 3 In putting forth another "Religious Novel," I would fain say a few words in - not excuse - but justification of such works; being aware that many excellent persons object to them. It was through "Fiction" that our Lord conveyed many of His heavenly truths; introducing even supposititious appeals to God, and prayers for His mercy; and surely we cannot be wrong in venturing to follow his steps! But it is the "Love" I am aware that is most objected to; but that objection I should like to be allowed to meet by repeating a few words of conversation on the subject, which proved effectual with a young "objecting" clergyman.
