The story of how it happened that
the book never was copyrighted

éost the property of any publisher
who fancied it. and how it happens
now that its author actually is hap-

history's most romantic tales.

Soon after Dr. Sheldon assumed
his present pastorate at the Central
Congregational church in Topeka.
back in January. 1889. he adopted a
new plan for Sunday evening serv-
ices in the church.

if any book has had as large a cir-

New Way of Preaching
During the winter of 1891. Dr.
Sheldon read the story of Richard
Bruce to his congregation. each
chapter serving as a Sunday evening
sermon and being followed by a gen-
eral discussion.

The novel way of preaching Christ
met with approv.al and the pastor
followed it through five additional
books to "In His Steps." in 1896. _In
this novel. minister. choir singer.
