JOHNSON, 121, FLEET STREET. MDCCCLXXXV. PREFACE. THIS Volume will be found to consist of two parts. The First contains the Addresses delivered at the Copenhagen Conference of the Evangelical Alliance, held in the Autumn of 1884. The Second, the resolutions there passed and other documents and memoranda connected with the meeting. The Addresses have, as a rule, been somewhat abridged; but care has been taken only to omit that which seemed to be rather of local or temporary, than of general and permanent, interest, or which could be omitted without affecting the main argument of the Address. The translations of the foreign papers are by different hands. The Editor desires specially to acknowledge the help kindly rendered to him in editing and revising them by his friend, Rev. R. S. Ashton, Secretary of the Evangelical Continental Society, whose advice and assistance have in this and other respects been most valuable. L. B. W. |
