All-wise, all-mighty, and all-good!

In Thee I firmly trust;

Thy ways, unknown or understood,
Are merciful and just.

PREFATORY NOTE.

Most of the sheets of this work have been seen by me in manuscript or in proof; and in reading them, I have found myself very much in accord with the views which the author has expressed; and altogether in sympathy with his spirit and purpose. He seems to me to have adopted the only safe method in eschatological inquiry; and though his conclusions may not commend themselves entirely to all his readers, his careful and scholarly marshalling of the Scriptural materials cannot but be helpful to every candid mind. For myself, I am heartily glad to be able to commend the volume, alike for its method and for its results.
