Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Allow a few words to premise my purpose in thus approaching you. I
am constrained by feelings fervent--affectionate--deep-seated. Let
gratitude be first named. I should indeed be heartless, if I were
untouched by kindness: and I should be worse than heartless, if not
moved exceedingly, when kindness is exceeding. Next, duty bids me
thus speak. I owe you service in the holiest sense. I hold a
spiritual office. I am here to promote the interests of your
immortal souls. Next, intense desire should not be silent. Duty is
a cold term for ardent feeling. A lukewarm ministry is a withering
blight. It is an iceberg in the Church. Next attention is here
called to Genesis. Where all is marvelous and all divine, no part
can have surpassing worth. Accept, then, these Beacons as assurance
of sincere desire that you should be the happiest among the
happy--the most joyous among the joyful--the most holy among the
holy--the most godlike among the godly--the most saintly among the
saints--the most heavenly-minded among the heavenly--the most
glorious among the glorified. This state of grace will be in
proportion as you dwell in Christ, and Christ in you. May your
souls be wholly swallowed up in Him Then your sins are all
forgiven--and blessed will be life's little speck--glorious will be
heaven's eternal day.
