Excerpt from Transformed: Or, the History of a River Thief, Briefly Told This little narrative 18 presented to the public with the single desire to magnify the grace of God. It is to show his mighty power in raising a soul dead in sin, and past all human hope of resurrection, to spiritual life. It is given, with few and trifling exceptions, as it fell from the lips of the Trans formed, and is condensed from a mass of strikingly interesting incidents which might have made a far more imposing volume. The design, however, has been to make a book sufficiently small and inex pensive to be freely circulated, that it may go out as a message of encouragement to those who have no hope for themselves by reason of sin, and to Christians whose faith is often too weak to take hold of' men and women so utterly cast down and bound by Satan. My own part of the work, though small, has been a sincere pleasure. As I have put the story into shape for the press, I have been led to admire the grace of God as manifested to this untaught and wicked man, and to recall the words of Jesus.
