Excerpt from Immersion, the Act of Christian Baptism This book is the result of long and patient investigation. It was with a view of satisfying the author's own mind that these studies were begun, and with no intention of writing a book. Many large libraries have been gone over, and a somewhat extensive correspondence conducted. Many of the books quoted are exceedingly rare, and many more locked up in foreign languages, and it occurred to me that these authorities might be of service to those who have neither the time nor opportunity to investigate so large a range of literature. I am under obligation to many friends who have assisted me in divers ways. I cordially mention my lifelong friend, Prof. Arthur Yager, Ph. D., of Georgetown College, Ky. He was especially helpful in translating French and German authors. And I am indebted to Rev. Basil Manly, D. D., LL. D., of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, for suggestions in Hebrew and Syriac. This book has been written in no controversial spirit, and it is given to the public with a sincere desire to do good. That it is not faultless the author is well aware, but he does believe that the propositions lain down are in accord with the Holy Scriptures, and in harmony with the universal teachings of history.
