Book Description

Excerpt from Autobiography and Miscellaneous Writings of Elder W. W. Crane This volume, comprising the autobiography and selected articles from the pen of Rev. W. W. Crane, which appeared at various times, and for several years, in the American Wesleyan, has been prepared with the hope that it may be one means of inciting to the love and practice of righteousness and truth; to the yielding of becoming at one with Him who was meek and lowly in heart, and went about doing good; to honor and love all men, and be compassionate toward domestic animals. It would have seemed well had the work been issued years ago, but in regard to the compiler, untoward circumstances prevented. Had he not done it now, or made arrangement for it to be done, he would have dreaded to pass through the Valley and Shadow of Death, and to appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ. In a letter received from the author five months before his departure, he said: "I feel little interest in any thing earthly; yet I will try, by divine help, to do something for the moral improvement of the world; but I must work as one out of the world while in it. I expect to feel about the same interest in the affairs of this world, when I am in another world, that I feel now.
