![]() ![]() We know he is a bishop, one of the leaders-the senior bishop-the captain of the Zion host. For thirty years he has been prominent in Zion Church work. Naturally we ask ourselves, first, Who is James Walker Hood, D.D.? Many of us have met him. Having said thus much in order to modify any exaggerated notions of the purview of an Introduction, let us see who and what are before us. The Introduction is simply the make-up of specimen pages. The Introduction simply points the way, like the signpost at the crossing of the roads, and like the signpost it may suggest consideration of the better way. The Introduction must know what it has to introduce. SELECTED out of the thousands of Zion's ministers to write the Introduction for Bishop Hood's notable History, I confess my shrinking from the task not because my heart is not in perfect sympathy with Bishop Hood's noble aim, that is, to place before the world what has never yet been written, a complete, reliable account of the rise and progress of one of the least known but one of the most prosperous, most aggressive of the many branches of God's Church or because I have any doubt concerning the ability of Bishop Hood, the author, to perform his task: but for fear that, with all my love for my Church with all my confidence that it has been and is now, in the hand of God, a grand leader in, and a blessing to, the world with all my heartfelt desire to do in the best way the necessary work of simply "an armor-bearer," I may not be able to single out with sufficient clearness the essential points of that History, that the truths thereof may be intensified and burned into the thought and life of the millions who, in this time of Christian activity, worship at our Church's altars.Īn Introduction is not really a review, and yet is a review in advance.
