Excerpt from Autobiography of Erastus O. Haven, D.D., LL. D: One of the Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church
So penciled Bfihop Haven on a scrap of waste paper, possibly upon his knee, at some odd moment when, m a reflective mood, he was accounting to himself as well as to others for giving his life its present form. The editor has aimed to complete the projected plan, permitting the author to speak when that was possible, sometimes from his Jour nal, at others through his correspondence, and then through his friends; and speaking himself only when that was necessary to fill the outlines and complete the p1cture that is all.
The small service has been a labor of love; and the re ward, and none could be higher, the consciousness of hav ing grown wiser and better in fellowship with the thoughts and spirit of a great and good man, and the hope of profit ing others in the same way.
