WAYSIDE WORDS. A MONTHLY MAGAZINE EDITED BY THE REV. FREDERICK HARPER, M.A. Author of "The Sinner's Welcome." "By grace are ye saved through Faith; and that Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians ii. 8, 9. LONDON: E. MARLBOROUGH & Co., 51 OLD BAILEY, PREFACE. Courteous Reader, Before you begin to read this homely Magazine I intreat you to pray to God for His Holy Spirit to give you a right understanding of His Holy Word. For it is only the Lord the Spirit that can make any words profitable to the soul. As you peruse the following pages you will find that "Christ is all" in them. Sure I am that all preaching will be blessed just in proportion as Christ is exalted and magnified. He that would save souls alive must see to it that his theme is Jesus only. JESUS ONLY as the Redeemer to save His people from their sins. JESUS ONLY as the Intercessor to pray in Heaven for His church on earth. JESUS ONLY as the Priest to absolve the penitent from every stain of guilt. Oh! reader, may God give you eyes to see the beauty of this precious Jesus and may He draw you by His Own irresistible Grace to Him Who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and make this volume a blessing to your soul is the prayer of Your sincere Friend, FREDERICK HARPER, INDEX FOR THE YEAR 1877.
