The writer has endeavored in the following pages, to comply with frequent requests made to him to prepare a small volume of Evening Prayers, suitable as a companion to the "Morning Watches." May all that is amiss in thought and word, be lost in the fragrant incense-cloud which ascends from the Golden Altar before the Eternal Throne "You are to make an altar for the burning of incense. You are to place the altar in front of the veil by the ark of the testimony - in front of the mercy seat that is over the testimony - where I will meet with you. And when Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he...

The following exercises, intended for the daily use of the believer, have immediate reference to the Lord Jesus. The things concerning Him, in his person and work, his character and offices, his perfect obedience and vicarious death, and especially his glorious exaltation - are the subjects set forth in this small volume.

Into how many millions of aching hearts this saying of Jesus has found entrance, and brought with it the olive-branch of peace? It has formed for six thousand years the response to the cry of weary, care-worn humanity--a cry embracing every nation and every climate, from the yearnings of heathendom to the longings and aspirations of the present hour. From the tumultuous sea of the worlds unrest the cry has gone up like a dirge of baffled souls- "Oh, where can rest be found?"
"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
This verse has been cherished by fevered...

Places associated with great minds are always interesting. What a halo of moral grandeur must ever be thrown around that spot which was hallowed above all others by the Lord of glory as the scene of His most cherished earthly friendship! However holy be the memories which encircle other localities trodden by Him in the days of His flesh-Bethlehem, with its manger cradle, its mystic star, and adoring cherubim-Nazareth, the nurturing home of His youthful affections-Tiberias, whose shores so often echoed to His footfall, or whose waters in stillness or in storm bore Him on their bosom-the...

Not only do we here learn that Jesus comes to the very worst, and is willing to enlighten them, but that He can change the very worst-that He does enlighten them. The Sun of Righteousness has not only arose on Galilee, but He rose "with healing in His beams." "Its common people heard Him gladly." His best converts, his truest and most trustworthy friends were from the ports, and fishing boats, and villages around Gennesaret. Oh, if He effected such a change on them, there is no room for despondency! "That is the true light which enlightens every one that comes into the world." He is willing...

At that interesting hour we have been contemplating on Mount Olivet, may we not think of this new dispensation being, so to speak, inaugurated. It was a solemn crisis in the worlds history. As God the Father had been revealed in the early dispensation--as God the Son had been revealed during His incarnation--so the Holy Spirit was now, in "the last days," (the closing era of the Church,) to complete the full manifestation of a Triune deity. As the gate of heaven opened to receive the glorified Son, the Dove of peace, and joy, and consolation was ready to take his flight down to earth, and to...

The following pages were especially composed during hours of leisure in the quiet of the study. Their design is to unfold and illustrate, however inadequately, one of the most precious portions of Holy Scripture. The writer fulfills a long cherished desire to awake a few slumbering chords of this New Testament "SONG OF SONGS."
In entering on the exposition of the eighth chapter of Romans, we listen to the music of the greatest of the Churchs prose-minstrels. It is a Gospel enshrined in the most precious of the Epistles--an epitome of divine truth. Though blended with other chords, let it be...

"After leaving Marah, they came to Elim (Valleys), where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees. They camped there beside the springs." Exodus 15:27 (Elim was an oasis in the desert.)
This volume, Palms of Elim, is intended for the comfort and refreshment for Gods own children of sorrow-for those in the varied valleys of earthly tribulation. The "palm trees of Elim" afford their grateful shade not in Canaan, but in the wilderness. Pilgrims of eternity! weary and travel-worn, fainting under the burden and fear of the day-may you find here in these pages, with their figurative palm...
