Excerpt from The Mount of Olives: And Other Lectures on Prayer Round this Incarnation-monument let our thoughts this day revolve. To learn the mind which was in Christ, and so the mind which is in God, let us confine our view to that little spot, and ponder those scenes in the Saviour's history and those words in the Saviour's ministry of which the theatre was Olivet. And whilst we do this for purposes of general piety - to get materials for our faith and love - let us, as the best introduction to a few discourses on Prayer, keep an especial eye to the suppliant Saviour. 'that we may know the Interces'sor above, there is no way so excellent as to get acquainted with that same Jesus while he sojourned here below.
