Excerpt from Biography of Jonathan Weaver, D. DAT the request of the executive committee of the Board of Missions, we have sought to gather together and ar range in consecutive order the important facts in con nection with the life of Bishop Jonathan Weaver, so the Church might know more clearly the life he lived and the work he wrought. To do this in the brief space of time allotted was no easy task, especially, when it is remem bered that during his long and eventful life he kept not a line of diary, which would have given definite informa tion as to his whereabouts at any particular time. In his earlier years he did not see the importance of it. He did not anticipate such honor as the Church conferred upon him. He was more concerned in the making than in the recording of history. In his later years, it seemed as if to keep a diary then would be a little immodest.Then, too, he never kept a copy of a single letter which he wrote to any one, which might have helped to fix dates, or to show the trend of his thoughts at certain periods. Nor did he keep the letters written to him by other par ties, some of them were unkind and severe, and, in mercy to the writer, he did not wish others to see them. Com pelled to move about as he was, these files of letters, be coming bulky, were destroyed whenever he prepared to move, so it is easy to see that his biographer could not get much help from any of these sources.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
