Excerpt from The Origin of the Reformed Church in Germany
The Reformed Church of Germany has a history. If so, it ought to be told to her English children in their own tongue. The history of the German Reformed Church is a history of persecutions and triumphs. She was a faithful witness to the truth in days of darkness and danger. She was not the least among the Reformed Churches of the sixteenth century, but was a leader in the sacramental host Of God's elect.
The most interesting part of Reformed Church his tory is its beginning. To see the light first glimmering through the darkness, to see the struggles to find the truth, to watch her progress through persecution, and her on ward march to victory, is the most fascinating page of her church-life. We propose to take up the story of her origin in Germany, and to tell that story simply, but faithfully.
