Excerpt from Autobiography of John J. Cornell: Containing an Account of His Religious Experiences and Travels in the Ministry I have always felt a shrinking from attempting such a work, from the feeling that it might be deemed egotistical on my part, but now that I have passed my seventieth year, as I become con scious if an autobiography is ever written it must be soon, I find my mind drawn to attempt it as a matter of duty, and so I shall send it forth as a faithful transcript of my life, my many experiences while in the service of the ministry and the many and peculiar baptisms I experienced in the preparation for that work, trusting that those into whose hands it may come may find the evidence of the Heavenly Father's care and direction In qualifying me for the service in which I have so long been engaged - and that some may find in the evidences given of His immediate care and guidance, an incentive to, in their day, as faithfully serve Him as the writer has endeavored to do, and that they may find as adequate a reward as has been granted him for his faithfulness in obedience to the requirements of the Heavenly Father.
