Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - Two or three years ago the editor of "Lippincott's Magazine" asked me, with many others, to take part in the very interesting "experience meeting" begun in the pages of that enterprising periodical. I gave my consent without much thought of the effort involved, but as time passed, felt slight inclination to comply with the request. There seemed little to say of interest to the general public, and I was distinctly conscious of a certain sense of awkwardness in writing about myself at all. The question, Why should I? always confronted me. When this request was again repeated early in the current year, I resolved at least to keep my promise. This is done with less reluctance now, for the reason that floating through the press I meet with paragraphs concerning myself that are incorrect, and often absurdly untrue. These literary and personal notes, together with many questioning letters, indicate a certain amount of public interest, and I have concluded that it may be well to give the facts to those who care to know them.

Autor

Edward Payson Roe was an American novelist, Presbyterian minister, horticulturist, and historian, born on March 7, 1838, in New Windsor, New York. He graduated from Williams College and later attended Auburn Theological Seminary, where he prepared for a career in ministry. Roe became well-known for his Christian novels, which often blended moral teachings with the exploration of social issues. His writing style reflected his strong religious beliefs, and many of his works focused on Christian values, personal growth, and the struggles of individuals to live virtuous lives. Roe's contributions to literature were significant during his time, particularly in the genre of Christian fiction. Aside from his literary pursuits, he was passionate about horticulture and history. Roe married and had three children Sarah Theresa, Merwin, and Pauline Sands. He passed away on July 19, 1888, at the age of 50 in Cornwall, New York. Despite his relatively short life, Edward Payson Roe's novels had a lasting influence on Christian literature and are still appreciated for their moral and spiritual messages.
