The Lover’s Love

IN the Journal and Messenger (Baptist) of April 21 we find the following appreciative words concerning one of our latest books, “The Lover’s Love — John Three Sixteen:”—

The author of this book has got a great deal out of it [the text]. He has done his work well. He has found in it hidden manna, and he has so dealt with it as to make it food for hungry souls. He takes up the successive elements of the sentence, and expands, unfolds, and illustrates them in such a way as to interest and hold the reader. There is in it an exhibition of genius, and he who can do what has been done here can do more. It is a book for comfort to the believer, and of persuasion to the unbeliever. It says to the Christian that it is well with him, and to the non-Christian that it pays to give heart and mind and soul and strength to Christ. It makes clear the way to eternal life—the strait road in which the honest-hearted, earnest Christian can not get astray. We commend the book as one of great value.
