This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1882 Excerpt: ...keen an envy in the Isaias xlii. 1-4. t S. Matthew viii. 8. % S. Matthew xv. 27, 28. teachers and ministers of the law.

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Mark this act attentively. We know that ambition had shown itself in some of His disciples, and this very question intimates as much. The child is called and set among them, they little thinking that he is to become their model. An innocent child is simple, humble, free from guile, conscious of ignorance, more conscious of dependence; open as the day, possessing nothing, hoping for all things, and still relying on parental love, protection, and support.
