Fugen eBooks

If the readers of these pages enjoy but a small part of the delight
found in their preparation, the writer will not regret his
undertaking. May the day be hastened when heaven shall repeat the
hosannas of a regenerated world, even as now the abundant grace
bestowed upon the Nestorians redounds, through the thanksgiving of
many, to the glory of God.
