Excerpt from W. O. Simpson, Methodist Minister and Missionary: Early Life, and Life in the Home Work; Mission Life Tion of official virtue. Unless the man be of sterling quality, the minister can never be of much worth or weight. In a word, the root of ministerial excellence lies deep in the character of the man who is made a minister. And in these Memoirs the man is brought out; and they who read of labours more abundant will not soon forget what manner of man he was who did the work. In the publication of this volume there has been unwelcome delay, arising out of unexpected hindrances. Brethren who have charge of important Circuits do not find it easy to command time for consecutive literary work. And in the case of Mr. Wray, this circumstance was aggravated by failing health. To this labour of love he gave the latest months of his life and probably the last effort, ere his right hand lost its cunning, was a brief note in pencil to myself in reference to these Memoirs. My own work has been chie y upon the manuscripts of Mr. Simpson's Sermons, Lectures, and Addresses. In relation to this volume, my principal duty has been to condense within the limits prescribed by the Book Committee the work of my two friends, and to conduct it through the press.' These Memoirs are sent forth in the full assurance that they who shared his fellow ship in the Gospel will be refreshed in spirit as they commune with him in these pages; and especially does the Editor hope and pray that many a young man will be stirred up to offer himself willingly unto the Lord, and to follow in the footsteps of William Overend Simpson, Methodist minister and missionary.
