Hardcover. xiii, 187 p.; color il. on dj, 26 il.; 23.5 cm. The Rt. Rev. John Johns, fourth Episcopal Bishop of Virginia, 1796-1876. Preface. This is not a book on religion, although the ministry presents a dramatic challenge to any young man to whom the Call may come! Bishop John Johns and General Robert E. Lee--you name a few more--were among the giants of their time in America. The rugged individualists pictured among these pages are silent sentinels in ink coming forward to greet you as you, by the magic wand of imagination, wander back in time to catch a glimpse of The Virginia Bishop of 1796 to 1876. I am not interested in one John Johns merely because he happened to have been a spectacular and vigorous Episcopal Bishop. What I want this biography to illustrate, through the medium of Bishop Johns, is that mankind's greatest national force is the intangible Christian output of its dedicated spiritual leaders. Socialism, the ownership of all property by the state, is materialism and no more. Democracy gives mankind the freedom to correct the abuses of capitalism by evolution and also to enjoy the blessings of Christ-like thoughts, ideals and goals in work, play, love and worship.' -- Signed by author on front free endpaper: My goal is in the preface - J. Sumner Wood, Sr. VG orig. azure cloth in torn dj (not affecting color portrait).…
