Descrizione Ebook None but Christ
Beloved Christian Friends:
To you, among whom for so many years it has been my privilege to live in the solemn relation of Pastor, and to whom I have so often preached "the unsearchable riches of Christ," I dedicate this volume. A kinder people to a Pastor could not exist. You have given me a place in your prayers and in your hearts. You have rejoiced with me in my prosperity; and when dark clouds of sorrow have gathered around me, you have surrounded me with tenderest sympathy. I felt it as the heaviest trial of my life when compelled by long-continued affliction to resign my charge over you, and the assurance of your continued affection and prayers is a great comfort to me in my retirement.
As I am now laid aside, perhaps permanently, from my loved work of preaching Christ, I wish through this book to call up to your remembrance those glorious truths which have formed the chief theme of my ministry among you; and my hope is, that even when I am laid in the silent grave I may still be speaking to you and your children through its pages.
God has greatly blessed a former little work of mine to the conversion of souls, and I ask your prayers that this volume may be crowned abundantly with the divine favor.
