Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Polished Stones and Sharpened Arrows: A Collection of Scripture Texts and Illustrations for the Christian Worker, the Home, and the Prayer Meeting
Doubtless some of the illustrations in this collection. Are already familiar to many into whose hands this little work will fall; but as our aim is not for originality, it is hoped that they may prove not less useful than those which are entirely new. The reader will observe that some of the selections are not intended to be confined to the texts of Scripture under which they are placed, but may appropriately be used under numerous other headings. This volume has been prepared with a threefold pur pose in view. First, To serve as a handbook of illustra tions for the preacher, the teacher, and the Christian worker, that they may abound more and more in every good word and work. Second, That it may be the means of arousing some sleeping Christian to a higher sense of his duty to himself, his fellow-men, and to his God. And last, but not least, that some unsaved soul may be directed to the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world. If in either of these purposes I have been successful, my labor has not been in vain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
