AUTOBIOGRAPHY, SERMONS, ADDRESSES, AND ESSAYS OF BISHOP L. H. HOLSEY, - Tecno-Libro

This book is published with the hope of doing good in more ways than will be expedient to state at this time. it is intended not only to disseminate the truths and glory of the gospel system, but also, as far as possible, to inspire the Negro to think, and to encourage investigation, literary advancement and authorship by men of my race. The sermons, essays, etc., are selected from what i have been preaching and writing for the last decade. Originally, the sermons were not designed for publication, but for private use. The lectures and essays, with few exceptions, were designed for the public, and most of them have appeared in the public prints. i have written as i have thought, always following what seemed to be the truth, the conclusions of others, save the inspired Word, to the contrary notwithstanding. Rev. Prof. John W Gilbert. A.B., A.M., of The Paine institute, is the immediate cause of the appearance of the book upon the arena of thought and action. Often he has urged me to publish a book of sermon
