ADVERTISEMENT TO THE SIXTH EDITION.
The Writer, not willing needlessly to extend the dimensions of his work, has refrained from much enlargement, except in one chapter—(Part v. Chap, v.) where the importance of the subject appeared to call for a more full consideration. This Chapter—for the use of the Purchasers of the former Editions, as well as from a desire to give a more comprehensive view than the limits of this work would admit—he has published in a separate and enlarged form.
Feeling as he does the circumstances of the times, to give a deepened tone of responsibility to our work, he has only to commend to his beloved—specially to his younger brethren—the two Apostolic determinations, as comprising all the principles of Ministerial efficiency:
“We will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the Ministry of the Word.”
Acts 6.4.
“I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ and him crucified.”
1Cor. 2.2.
