TO MY BELOVED IN CHRIST JESUS

It pleased God, in the days when we used to meet together in Cambridge
for His worship and for personal help, to draw us unitedly very close
to Himself, so that few of us are likely to forget the seasons of
refreshing which we enjoyed from His presence; and if, by His good
providence, any of us meet in these later days, one of the readiest
sentences to rise to our lips is the word, "Do you remember?" The
papers which make up this little volume were originally designed to the
same end, the remembrance of one another, and of the truths which God
taught us. How often were the pencilled notes of one and another put
into my hand after some bright and happy meeting, that a few copies
might be made and circulated! It is more than fourteen years since
this was first done, and the latest fragment of this book is more than
ten years old. You can see the creases of time in them, and, indeed,
they were never properly rounded. Take them, however, collected and
reprinted, as a token (the only token I can give) that the moth and
rust of time have not eaten away the affection which I had for you all,
and that those two thieves, Change and Death, which were so early busy
with us, have not been able to undermine the house of our Love, nor
abstract the treasure of our common Faith.
