It is our incumbent duty to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, and give earnest heed to the truths which proceeded from His gracious lips. "Never any man spoke like this man " was the testimony of the officers who were sent to apprehend him-a testimony altogether spontaneous and unbribed on the one hand - and most faithful and true on the other. The whole of His instructions have the highest claims upon our devout regards. In every doctrine He taught, every invitation He uttered, every promise He gave - we should "listen to Him " And while we ought to listen to His voice as He speaks to us...

This book is addressed to those in AFFLICTION. There is a touching tradition, to which he has elsewhere referred, regarding the Jewish Temple of old, that it had a gateway reserved exclusively for mourners. Such is the present volume. It opens up a pathway to God's sanctuary trodden by the footsteps of sorrow. It is sacred to dimmed eyes, and broken hearts, and tender memories. Moreover, though not exclusively, it is the wide family of the bereaved the writer has chiefly in view. A few words on the TITLE. Nothing is more impressive in the desert journeys of the Israelites, than the miraculous...

The Morning Watches is designed as a companion to The Night Watches. It is hoped, by the Divine blessing, they may together form a humble auxiliary in promoting what is pronounced in the best of all manuals of devotion to be "a good thing" - the showing forth of God's "loving-kindness in the morning," and His "faithfulness every night" (Psalm 92:2.)

THE MIND OF JESUS What a study is this To attain a dim reflection of it, is the ambition of angel - higher they cannot soar. "To be conformed to the image of His Son " - this is the design of God in the predestination of His people from all eternity. "We shall be like Him " - this is the Bible picture of heaven "Consider," says the Great Apostle (literally 'gaze on') "Christ Jesus" (Hebrews 3:1.)

The Great Journey takes us on a Pilgrimage through the Valley of Tears to Mount Zion, the city of the living God. As I was walking along the Highway of Time, I came to a new milestone; and being wearied with my journey, "I laid me down in that place to sleep; and as I slept, I dreamed a dream."- Methought I saw a dwelling, situated by itself in one of the world's secluded valleys. In front of its simple, rustic lintels stood an aged man, pale and agitated. His eyes were pensively fixed on the ground; or if they were occasionally lifted to take a hurried glance at some distant object, it...

Whatever things were written aforetime in the sacred volume - were written for our instruction and admonition. The precepts it inculcates, and the diversified incidents it records - were evidently intended for our learning on the one hand, and for our warning on the other. In the biographies of Scripture this particularly appears. When the things which are pure, and lovely, and of good report - are exemplified in the character of an individual, the practical application is, "Go - and do likewise." While in reference to those of an opposite nature, such as the daring stubbornness of Pharaoh,...

My dear friends, This little book contains, with a few additions, the substance of what was spoken one Sunday to a number of hearers of your own age. It may serve to recall to those that listened to it, and to unfold to those who did not, some simple and well-known, but precious gospel truths. May He whose NAME it is designed to exalt-bless you in reading it, and enable you from the heart to repeat as your own happy experience, the well-known verse of the beautiful hymn I have put on the title-page.
