Mile-Stone Papers

Excerpt from Mile-Stone Papers: Doctrinal, Ethical, and Experimental, on Christian Progress It is with the author of this volume about three o'clock in the afternoon of life's brief day. As he begins to look toward the sunset, and to think of that night in which no man can work, he realizes an ambition to be preaching the unsearchable riches of Christ after his sun shall have gone down. With Peter, he purposes, so long as he is in this tabernacle, to stir up his fellow-believers, putting them in remembrance of the exceeding great and precious promises. With Peter, he also feels that he must shortly put off this tabernacle; and with him he now endeavors, by the use of the pen, "that ye may be able, after my decease, to have these things always in remembrance." This is the motive which prompts the publication of the present volume of essays on the theme partially elaborated in "Love Enthroned." The unexpected favor which the Christian Public has shown to that book evinces a wide-spread interest in the doctrine and experience of evangelical perfection.
