Présentation de l'éditeur :

Mstiss si |ms. A WORD spoken in season, says the wise man, how good it is I If this be true regarding the utterances of uninspired lips, with what devout and paramount interest must we invest the sayings of Incarnate Truth the WORDS OP Jesus !W ehave, in the motto-verses which head the succeeding pages a few comforting responses from theO racle of heavenly Wisdom a few grapes plucked from the true Vine living streams welling fresh from theL iving Fountain. Every portion of Scripture is designed for nutriment to the soul the bread of life; but surely we may well regard the recorded Words of Jesus as the finest of the wheat These are the Honey out of the trueR ock, with which He will satisfy us. The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life. The following are selected more especially as TT orZ sfor theW eary healing leaves for the wounded spirit falling from the Tree of Life. Jesus was divinely quaU fied for this special office of speaking many and comfortable words. The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I might know how to speak a Word inS eason to him that is weary. Let us, like the disciple of Patmos, turn to hear the voice that speaks to us,.saying, I wait for theL ord, my soul doth wait, and inH is Word do I hope. Eighteen hundred years have elapsed since these words were uttered. With tones of unaltered and unchanged affection, they are still echoed from the inner sanctuary they come this day fresh as they were spoken, from the lips of Him whose memorial to all time is this: that same Jesus. Reader, seek to realise, in meditating on them, the simple but solemn truth -CJ irist speaks to meS urely nothing can be more soothing with which to close your eyes on your nightly pillow, or to carry with you in the morning out to the duties (or, it may be, the trials and sorrows) of the day, than A WORD OF JESUS.
