Prefatory Note
By the Bishop of Durham
This book, a small casket stored with many jewels, will have, I hope, a wide circulation. Yet more I hope that it will go deep as well as far, and imprint by the grace of God upon an its readers’ souls something of that supreme content and delight in the Lord Jesus which were the light of the life to Samuel Rutherford. Nothing is more needed in our day in the Christian Church than a larger sight by faith, of “the King in His beauty.” We hear much of many things, but too little of Him.
To read Rutherford, in sympathy and with prayer, is a powerful and beautiful help towards that “beatific vision” of our Redeemer which may be ours even here below.
