Excerpt from John Bachman: The Pastor of St. John's Lutheran Church, Charleston The reader must be the judge, we could only adopt the principle laid down- "Let him speak for himself." The letters to Audubon take a prominent place, from the fact that they have been preserved, while others of equal, or of greater interest, at least to the Church, have been destroyed. Although the name of Bach Max is closely interwoven with the early life of the Lutheran Church in the South, yet the details of his labors here would weary the general reader, and would, necessarily, have been very imperfect. Many of the letters written, while passing under the rod, seem too sacred for the critical eye of the public. But without these we could neither give the reader a glimpse into the tender, loving heart of the man and the father, nor could he trace the growth of that marvellous sympathy which enabled John Bachman to enter into the joys and sorrows of his fellow-men, almost as if they were his own.
