the New Jerusalem.

As you peruse these pages, I pray that you may whisper a prayer to
God in my behalf, as I am now fifty-six years old and only a child in
wisdom.

With pity for the blind hosts of Catholicism and a prayer upon my
lips for their deliverance from the trenches of paganism, I dedicate
this book to the world as coming from a heart which poured out its
youth's vitality upon the barren fields of superstition, and wasted
its vigor in serving only the god of myths. With a feeling of
brotherly love for the entire world, I am,

Yours in His name,

BERNARD FRESENBORG.
