Excerpt from Twenty Years in the Church, Vol. 1 of 2: Early Struggles "Twenty Years in the Church!" But are not the Laity members of the Church as well as the Clergy? I reply, that the precise expression, "being in the Church, ' is generally understood of the Clergy alone. The title is more descriptive than any other I could select. The sketches are from life. Real persons and scenes have been before me, and in some parts I have been obliged to resort to new combinations to spare private feeling. I have long observed, that there is a reality and interest in any plain newspaper report, as of a trial or a shipwreck, which vividly contrasts with any page of fiction, however ingenious. I therefore resolved to tell "things that I did know, " and once more to adopt that Photographic or Pre-Raphaelite style to which the success of my "Recollections of College Days" was chiefly owing. If the life of the Rev. Henry Austin contains a moral, it is because no man's life can be set forth without one. But my friends need not be at all suspicious of anything like powders in my Currant Jelly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
