TO MY BELOVED IN CHRIST JESUS

It pleased God, in the days when we used to meet together in Cambridgefor His worship and for personal help, to draw us unitedly very closeto Himself, so that few of us are likely to forget the seasons ofrefreshing which we enjoyed from His presence; and if, by His goodprovidence, any of us meet in these later days, one of the readiestsentences to rise to our lips is the word, "Do you remember?" Thepapers which make up this little volume were originally designed to thesame end, the remembrance of one another, and of the truths which Godtaught us. How often were the pencilled notes of one and another putinto my hand after some bright and happy meeting, that a few copiesmight be made and circulated! It is more than fourteen years sincethis was first done, and the latest fragment of this book is more thanten years old. You can see the creases of time in them, and, indeed,they were never properly rounded. Take them, however, collected andreprinted, as a token (the only token I can give) that the moth andrust of time have not eaten away the affection which I had for you all,and that those two thieves, Change and Death, which were so early busywith us, have not been able to undermine the house of our Love, norabstract the treasure of our common Faith.
