Excerpt from The World's Birth-Day: A Book for the Young

Therefore, my friends, I entreat you to seek this living and true God, our creator, in the holy word in which he has revealed himself to us. There he is to be found; there will he meet the child who is longing for him, praying to him, waiting for him. He will create in him a new heart, and renew within him a right spirit. He will take him in his arms, as the father in the parable his prodigal son. And will say.

Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him, - the robe of our Redeemer's righteousness (luke xv. It is by laying to heart the truths revealed in Scripture that a soul is converted to God, and escapes from the wrath to come. Hear the words of the parable spoken by our Lord Jesus: They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead (luke xvi. 29, But let us ever search the Scriptures with a sincere and humble heart; for the Lord has said, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. All those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word (isa. Lxvi. 1, 2)

Excerpt from The World's Birth-Day: A Book for the Young

You were all standing in a circle on the grass. I felt deeply at seeing you. I heard your voices and your hymns; I received your beautiful bunches ol flowers, and I spoke a few words to you from the balcony. But what pleased me more than all the rest, was the packet of cards presented to me by three of you in the name of all On each card there was written one of your names, along with a few verses of comfort and exhortation, chosen for me by each from the word of God.

This bunch of more than a hundred flowers, gathered for me by your hands in the garden of Scripture, and for the most part very well chosen, brought to me a precious fragrance. I frequently read them. They revived and strengthened my soul, and I felt myself comforted by God. I was then unable for the slightest exertion; but I resolved that I would send you in return a passage from Scripture, as soon as my health permitted me to get the notes of these lessons corrected and copied.

I now dedicate to you the lessons on the first chapter of Genesis, which we had been considering together when I was separated from you by the hand of God. I had also explained to you the first seven verses of the second chapter; but you will not find them in this book: I have thought it better not to begin a new chapter.
