Edward Payson Roe (1838-1888) was an American chaplain, pastor and novelist. His works included Barriers Burned Away (1872), which first appeared as a serial in the Evangelist and made him widely known, Near to Natures Heart (1876), A Day of Fate (1880) and many others. His novels were very popular in their day, and were translated into several European languages.

The labors performed by the...
