COMMONPLACE HOLINESS
WELCOME
BY

BISHOP WILLARD F. MALLALIEU

EDITOR'S NOTE: I was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of the 1903 edition printed by Jennings and Pye. The text is small, but quite clear and the book has no underlining. A previous owner of this volume wrote these words in it: "one of the very best on Holiness." This is a fine introduction to Wesleyan teaching.

I have put together a small page of biographical information on Bishop Mallalieu for those who may be interested. (And, I'm always interested in more information as well –– if someone out there has more.)

While this book is a good, brief introduction to the doctrine of Christian Perfection, readers will find little here that is new — the familiar Wesley quotes are repeated once again. I am personally very fond of Chapter 3.
