From the author's introduction:
I am very willing to admit, CHRISTIAN PURITY is a SPECIALTY with me, and has been for nearly twenty years. As much so, perhaps, as Sabbath School work with Dr. Vincent, Church Extension with Dr. Kynett, or, any other specialist in the Church.
I believe Christian holiness, in its true evangelical sense, should be the GREAT SPECIALTY of the whole Church; — that she ought to give great prominence to it, as the "central idea" of thee Gospel.
It is believed, if some of our very learned ministers would give more attention to Christian Purity, and less to some other specialties, which appear to consume their attention; this subject would be relieved of much harm in their unhappy presentations of it.
Even, great and learned men can not be supposed to know every thing, nor is it given to any one man to excel in every thing. It is a mistaken idea, that large ability and much learning exempt men from making great mistakes. Many, who have been regarded by the world as profoundly learned, and were so in some things, have made some of the most shameful blunders, of which humanity has been the victim.
