Excerpt from Billy Sunday: The Man and Method
Arnold said is a primary condition of all candid, just and helpful criticism. If any friend of Mr. Sunday thinks I am too severe in anything I have written in this little book let me say to him earnestly that I have set naught down in malice. I have tried to detach myself so that I might convey to both the apologists and the critics of Mr. Sunday a clear impression of what I saw, and heard, and understood, of a campaign which has in one or another way left its influence behind it for good or ill, or both, in the city where my life work as a Christian minister has been almost entirely spent.
