Excerpt from The Bible's Own Account of Itself

Since the publication, in 1891, of The Bible's Own Account of Itself, Edward Maitland has passed over to the other side. His withdrawal took place on the 2nd October, 1897 - a little more than nine years after the death of his colleague, Dr. Anna Kingsford. He has left behind him an interesting account of his life and work in The Life of Anna Kingsford, his last boak, which was published in 1896. From this we learn that he had the idea of a mission early in life, and that this idea gathered force and consistency until it was made clear to him that not destruction merely, but construction, not exposure of error but the demonstration of truth, was comprised in it. Vvhen, in January, 1874, he first met Dr. Anna Kingsford, who had a similar idea, they recognised that their mission, which they declared was derived from the Church invisible, celestial, and incorruptible, was a joint mission, and that it was summed up in the word interpretation.'
