Written in the chaste and elegant language characteristic of the author. Read the following from the first paragraph of chapter 3:—
“It was Christ who amid thunder and flame had proclaimed the law upon Mount Sinai. The glory of God, like devouring fire, rested upon its summit, and the mountain quaked at the presence of the Lord. The hosts of Israel, lying prostrate upon the earth, had listened in solemn awe to the sacred precepts of the law. What a contrast to the scene upon the mount of the beatitudes! Under the summer sky, with no sound to break the stillness but the songs of birds, Jesus unfolded the principles of his kingdom. Yet he who spoke to the people that day in accents of love, was opening to them the principles of the law that had been proclaimed upon Sinai.”
The reader feels himself one of the thronging multitude, and, with them, listens to the wonderful lessons fraught with pity and love from the lips of Him “who spake as never man spake.” This peerless book combines the commentary, as well as the most assuring instruction for all, and its chaste bindings make it
