PREFACE. DEAR CHRISTIAN READER, The hope of the writer of this little book is that the Holy Spirit, the Great Teacher of the saints, will enable you to set your seal to much that is here put forth, as His own gracious Unfoldings of the Word of Truth. I know that anything which is of myself will only hinder, and that that only which is of God will bless; and this is my excuse for sending it forth anonymously. All praise to Him to whom all praise is due. I pray our gracious God and Father, (in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,) that the perusal of this work may have the effect of increasing the reader's love and reverence for the Scriptures (so freely quoted into its pages), and his dependence upon the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Truth, to lead him into all truth. Our Beloved Lord bless you, dear brother; further His work in all of us; and may He come quickly. Yours in Him, THE WRITER. |
