Excerpt from Curious Church Gleanings The welcome given by the public and the press to my previous volume issued under the title "Curious Church Customs," has encouraged me to prepare on similar lines another collection of papers dealing with the byways and highways of Church history. My contributors have done their best to furnish articles of interest, and I think their work is of permanent value. I should be ungrateful if I did not express my gratitude for their assistance. I send forth this book hoping that it may not fail to prove entertaining, and throw some light on matters of interest to lovers of our National Church.
