Life and Labors of Elder John Kline

the long version

Elder John Kline will be set forth in this work as one of the great pioneer preachers of the Cross. A brief but clear outline of many of his sermons, together with the time and place of preaching them, will be given. Many of the love feasts which he attended, and the substance of what he said at some of them will also be noted. On June 15, 1864 he went to a blacksmith's shop a few miles away from home; had Nell shod; and on his return was killed by, it is supposed, some concealed person or persons on a ridge of timber land a few miles away from home. His body, when discovered, showed that it had been pierced by several bullets. But a smile rested on his face. - Publisher.
