Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Missionary Magazine, Vol. 38: January, 1858
We have been minished and brought low. We feel God's hand. It has been a period, and the time has seemed long, of rebuke and chastening. But from this very chastening, protracted and sore though it has been, we gather strength and hepe. The Lord has not forsaken his people, nor given over his heritage to a perpetual desolation. The christening has been grievous, but more grievous was the sinning. The chastening has been grievous, but it was for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Viewed in its preper light, this season of righteous discipline has been a time of God's great mercy. A time of God's most gracious visitation. Have ye forgotten the exhortatieu which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not then the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons. Wherefore lift up the bands which han g down, and the feeble knees. Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord. Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
