Excerpt from Heralds of a Liberal Faith, Vol. 4: The Pilots As in the earlier volumes, many honored names which might well have found place in this record have had to be omitted, and the watchful eyes and sensitive hearts of descendants or living admirers may feel that the careers of their friends and guides deserved to be called to remembrance quite as much as those of the men whose names appear in this book. I have obviously been limited by the restrictions of space, and I have therefore tried to select types rather than to present a complete survey. From the story of the careers of these representative leaders the motives and achievements of the movement they impersonated may be rightly judged. In limiting these records to ministers of a single Christian fellowship, I would not seem to imply that liberalism is the possession or attribute of any one communion. Liberalism over flows all sectarian boundaries and appears sporadically but un mistakably in all the Protestant Churches. The river of progress is fed by many tributaries and each may rightly claim its share in the power of the main stream.
