The Expositor's Bible the; BOOK OF EXODUS BY THE RIGHT REV. 3- A. CHADWICK, D.D., Bishop of Derry AUTHOR OF "THE GOSPEL OF ST. MARK," ETC NEW YORK C. ARMSTRONG AND SON 3 and 5 West Eighteenth Street London: Hodder and Stoughton 1903 PREFACE. MUCH is now denied or doubted, within the Church itself, concerning the Book of Exodus, which was formerly accepted with confidence by all Christians. But one thing can neither be doubted nor denied. Jesus Christ did certainly treat this book, taking it as He found it, as possessed of spiritual authority, a sacred scripture. He taught His disciples to regard it thus, and they did so. Therefore, however widely His followers may differ about its date and origin, they must admit the right of a Christian teacher to treat this book, taking it as he finds it, as a sacred scripture and invested with spiritual authority. It is the legitimate subject of exposition in the Church. Such work this volume strives, howler imper- fectly, to perform. Its object is to edify in the first place, and also, but in the second place, to inform. Nor has the author consciously shrunk from saying what seemed to him proper to be said because the utterance would be unwelcome, either to the latest critical theory, or to the last sensational gospel of an hour. But sines controversv has not been sought, b PREFACE. although exposition has not been suppressed when it carried weapons, by far the greater part of the volume appeals to all who accept their Bible as, in any true sense, a gift from God. No task is more difficult than to exhibit the Old Testament in the light of the New, discovering the permanent in the evanescent, and the spiritual in the form and type which it inhabited and illuminated. This book is at least the result of a firm belief that such a connection between the two Testaments does exist, and of a patient endeavour to receive the edification offered by each Scripture, rather than to force into it, and then extort from it, what the expositor desires to find. Nor has it been supposed that by allowing the imagination to assume, in sacred things, that rank as a guide which reason holds in all other practical affairs, any honour would be done to Him Who is called the Spirit of know- ledge and wisdom, but not of fancy and quaint conceits. If such an attempt does, in any degree, prove successful and bear fruit, this fact will be of the nature of a scientific demonstration. If this ancient Book of Exodus yields solid results to a sober devotional exposition in the nineteenth Christian century, if it is not an idle fancy that its teaching harmonises with the principles and theology of the New Testament, and even demands the New Testament as the true commentary upon the Old, what follows ? How comes it that the oak is potentially in the acorn, and the living creature in the egg ? No germ is a manufactured article : it is a part of the system of the universe. — — ANALYSIS OF CONTENTS.

  • CHURCHMAN August, 1912
    THE CHURCHMAN August, 1912. ttbe montb. IN the Northern Churchman for May last (its sub­ Holy Com- munion the title is the '' Church Chronicle for the Diocese of Central Service. North Queensland ") there is published the first of a series of articles on Eucharistic Fundamentals. The intro­ ductory article is stated to be " communicated," and so we . presume it is not to be regarded as official. We notice further that it is published whilst the Bishop is absent in England, and we are therefore hopeful that it is issued without approval. The writer begins by pointing out that if the principle of fasting communion be carried out and the hour of celebrating the sung Eucharist be delayed until I I a.m., there wiU be few or no communicants at this Service. He notes further that this, as a matter of fact, is the case, and records the fact that he had recently visited three churches in London-St. Matthew's, Westminster, with 400 people present and only one communi­ cant ; St. Cuthbert's, Kensington, 500, with no communicants ; and St. Saviour's, Ealing, 600, with two or three. We, of course, simply give these statements as the writer's own illustra­ tions, without assuming responsibility for their truth. The writer then proceeds to take note of the The E ssence of " Right fact that to many people this seems a perversion Celebration. of the fundamental object of the institution of the Holy Sacrament, contrary to the teaching of Scripture and the English branch of the Church Catholic, and, in short, is the VOL.

  • Put Yourself in His Place by Charles Reade</H1>
    Put Yourself in His Place by Charles Reade Put Yourself in His Place by Charles Reade PUT YOURSELF IN HIS PLACE by Charles Reade I will frame a work of fiction upon notorious fact, so that anybody shall think he can do the same; shall labor and toil attempting the same, and fail--such is the power of sequence and connection in writing."--HORACE: Art of Poetry. CHAPTER I. Hillsborough and its outlying suburbs make bricks by the million, spin and weave both wool and cotton, forge in steel from the finest needle up to a ship's armor, and so add considerably to the kingdom's wealth. page 1 / 1.039 But industry so vast, working by steam on a limited space, has been fatal to beauty: Hillsborough, though built on one of the loveliest sites in England, is perhaps the most hideous town in creation. All ups and down and back slums. Not one of its wriggling, broken- backed streets has handsome shops in an unbroken row. Houses seem to have battled in the air, and stuck wherever they tumbled down dead out of the melee. But worst of all, the city is pockmarked with public-houses, and bristles with high round chimneys. These are not confined to a locality, but stuck all over the place like cloves in an orange. They defy the law, and belch forth massy volumes of black smoke, that hang like acres of crape over the place, and veil the sun and the blue sky even in the brightest day. But in a fog--why, the air of Hillsborough looks a thing to plow, if you want a dirty job.

  • 1 Or MIRIAM ALROY by Benjamin Disraeli Sweet Sister!
    ALROY or MIRIAM ALROY by Benjamin Disraeli TO Sweet sister! As I wondered on the mountains of Sion, behold! a gazelle came bounding o'er the hills! It perceived me, it started back, it gazed at me with trembling surprise. Ah! fear not! fair creature, I fondly exclaimed, fear not, and flee not away! I too have a gazelle in a distant land; not less beautiful her airy form than thine, and her dark eye not less tremulously bright. Ah! little did I deem, my sweetest friend, that ere I pressed that beauteous form again, sorrow should dim the radiance of they smile, and charge that brilliant eye with many a tear! Yet trust thee, dearest, in a brother's love, the purest sympathy of our fallen state! If I recall one gleam of rapture to thy pensive cheek, not in vain I strike my lonely lyre, or throw these laurels at they fairy feet! PREFACE Being at Jerusalem in the year 1831, and visiting the traditionary tombs of the Kings of Israel, my thoughts recurred to a personage whose marvellous career had, even in boyhood, attracted my attention, as one fraught with the richest materials of poetic fiction. And I then commenced these pages that should commemorate the name of ALROY. In the twelfth century, when he arose, this was the political condition of the East: The Caliphate was in a state of rapid decay. The Seljukian Sultans, who had been called to the assistance of the Commanders of the Faithful, had become, like the Mayors of the palace in France, the real sovereigns of the Empire.
