PREFACE

TO THE

FIRST EDITION OF THE FOURTH PART

Twelve years have elapsed since the period at which the third part of
the Narrative of the Lord's dealings with me closes. It has not been
for want of matter, that this fourth part has not appeared sooner; but
the increased and ever increasing variety of other occupations has kept
me hitherto from arranging the materials for the press. Of late,
however, I have judged, for the following reasons, that I ought
particularly to give myself to this service.

1, It has pleased the Lord so abundantly to bless the former parts of my
Narrative to the comfort, encouragement, strengthening, and instruction
of those who are young and weak in the faith, and to those unacquainted
with the simplicity of the truth, that I consider myself to be the
servant of such; and I feel that responsibility is laid upon me, to do
what further I can, in this way, to serve them. And this, I confess, I
do joyfully; for my spirit has oft times been not a little refreshed
during the eighteen years which have elapsed, since I published the
first part of my Narrative, by the many hundreds of letters I have
received, giving an account of the blessing, which the writers of them
have derived from the perusal of it; and I have thus been again and
again encouraged to go on with the work.

2, I think it important, that the reader of the first three parts of my
Narrative should have a right impression of the work in which I am
engaged. He may not be acquainted with the Reports of the Scriptural
Knowledge Institution for Home and Abroad, which have been published
since 1844, and therefore he may know no more of the work in which I am
especially engaged, than the first three parts of
