Sacred Allegories The Shadow Of The Cross The Distant Hills The Old Mans Home The Kings Messengers Third Edition With A Portrait PDF Download

Excerpt from Sacred Allegories: The Shadow of the Cross; The Distant Hills; The Old Man's Home; The King's Messengers In his preface to the joint edition of these two works: Two distinct views may be taken of our position in the Church upon earth. We may either regard it as enabling us, by the light that shines upon it from above, to pass in safety through the trials of life; or as affording us a field of contemplation altogether removed from the present world. The former View has been principally adopted ln the Shadow of the Cross, the latter in the Distant Hills; and it is hoped that the two combined may, by God's grace, be a means of leading those who read them to endeavour to exercise and retain all their baptismal privileges, both by seeking the mark of the cross on the earthly objects around them, and also by setting their affections on things.
