Excerpt from The Messiad At the age of fourteen, having perused most of the great Epics in English and English translations of Greek and Latin authors, I resolved some day to produce an Epic to honor and celebrate the Christian religion and its Divine Author. At a later age, I read Homer and Virgil in their originals while in Howard College, Alabama. These great Epics in elucidation and support of Paganism more firmly and thoroughly confirmed me in my resolution. Through forty years of active public life in the schoolroom and pulpit, that Epic has grown with me. Like Horace, I could not sleep for writing verses. When, ten years ago, I had produced and twenty times revised my cherished work, I stowed it away, doubtful of the propriety of its present publication. My friends and pupils have drawn it out from its hiding place, and it is now before the world. The absorbing desire of my heart is for it to do the good of leading many to understand, love and follow the great Master and the only true Hero the world has ever produced. Of course, its merits must be tested by the public to which I now commit it, with the prayer that God may cause it to bring forth much fruit for His glory.
