Excerpt from The City With Foundations The words of the Bible are inexhaustible in their freshness and power; and this volume, like its predecessors, The Divine Pursuit and In the Hour of Silence, is an attempt to capture something of their aroma. The chapters are not elaborate expositions, but simple meditations, resting usually upon a close study of the original meaning of some great Bible word or scene, and exhibiting some aspect of its permanent message. Those ancient words still speak, as no other words speak, to the men of to-day, and so, we believe, they will continue to speak to men for ever. These chapters have already appeared in one or other of the following magazines: The Interior, The Congregationalist, The Sunday School Times, The Biblical World, The Methodist Quarterly Review, The Record of Christian Work, The Presbyterian. For their courteous permission to reproduce them, my thanks are most heartily tendered to the editors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
