Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plain Papers: On Prophetic and Other Subjects The following pages lay no claim to originality in the strict sense of that word. The author has read with attention much that has been written on prophetic sub jects by others, and he has never hesitated to avail himself Of any sentiment which has commended itself to him as in accordance with the Word of God. How much he is in debted thus to some who have preceded him it would be impossible for him to determine. Some subjects discussed in this volume he is not aware Of having seen similarly treated in any previous work; but as to these, as well as all else that the volume contains, he would have it under stood that he has given expression to nothing (unless pre sented as a mere suggestion) which has not been judged by him, on comparison with the alone test of truth, to be the doctrine Of God's blessed book. The reader is entreated rigidly to subject all that these pages contain to the same test. Upward Of ten years have elapsed Since the first edition began. That now, in closely perusing the sheets for the present edition, he Should find, save for clearness of ex pression here and there, SO little to change, is with the writer matter of sincere thankfulness to God. Truth is, like its divine Author, immutable. To be tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind Of doctrine, is the effect of our learning, not from God, but from men. May we all be kept from the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby so many lie in wait to deceive. The former edition was anonymous; but the French translation having been published with the author's name, though without his knowledge of the fact, it would be mere affectation to withhold it here. God grant, in His infinite mercy, that these pages may be used of Him to awaken attention to prophetic subjects, and to aid inquirers in the examination Of His Word with reference thereto. And may both readers and writer be found, (if still on earth when the Master comes, ) with girded loins and burning lamps, and they themselves like unto men that wait for their lord.
