The volume was written out of the exDerience of an intimate ac quaintanceship with the subject, ana tne autnor has put the character of Doctor Schneder in true perspective.

This work will be cherished not only by the thousands of catechumens confirmed in the faith by Doctor Schneder. but also bv the many hundreds of those upon whose lives ne pronounced blessings in baccalaureate sermons, and by the host of local citizens of all creeds among whom he ministered by Kmcuy word and gracious deed.
