Down to Earth But Heavenly Minded

When the young girl at Philippi described Paul and Silas as "servants of the Most High God which shew unto us the way of salvation," she unwittingly described them and their work in the truest and best possible way. Nothing is greater or nobler than to be "servants of the Most High God," and nothing more glorious than to "shew the way of salvation." This little work by my good friend, Mr. Chafer, is in the true "Apostolic Succession," for it depicts in clear and Scriptural language the Gospel of Divine salvation through the Person and Work of Christ. I rejoice in his faithful and forcible message. I am glad of the privilege of calling attention to a presentation of the way of salvation which is certain to lead all who read it earnestly to a living faith in Christ and then to constant joy because of the abundant and assured provision of God for the Christian life. It is only on the familiar principle of "Grace before Meat," so often associated with a clergyman that I feel justified in accepting the invitation to commend these admirable chapters from one whose services as a Bible teacher are continually becoming better known and more warmly appreciated in the United States and Canada.

A Short Outline of Some of the Great Events of Prophecy

Editor of “The Witness.”

Tenth Edition. —Thirty-first thousand.

GLASGOW:

Pickering & Inglis, Printers, And Publishers.

London: Alfred Holness, 14 Paternoster Row, E. C

New York: D. T. Bass, 54 West Twenty-Second Street.

Preface

Truth is one, and it is eternal. It may be, and is, many-sided, but the different aspects of it do not conflict, and age does not impair it.

It is now thirty years since the articles forming the little volume called “Things to Come”1 were first issued in the Northern Intelligencer under the editorship of the late much esteemed Donald Ross.

The truth in them was nearly all new to the natives of Aberdeenshire, and the great reviving that had taken place in the North under the preaching of Reginald Radcliffe, Brownlow North, Duncan Mathieson, and many others had prepared the hearts of the Christians to receive truth straight from the Book apart from human authority or tradition.

Although it is so long since it was written, the Author sees little in it that calls for revision, and the tenth edition is now issued almost exactly as it appeared at first.

Any who will be at pains to read the chapters through with an open Bible to refer to at every page will surely be convinced that the Hope of the Church is not death but the coming again of the Lord Jesus; that this blissful event awaits no long fulfillment of prophecy, but may take place at any moment; and that the only becoming attitude for the saints today is that of the Thessalonians of old who served the living and True God while they waited for His Son from Heaven,

“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

“Howbeit when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you

THINGS TO COME.

“He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine, and He shall shew it unto you.”

John 16:12-14
