Excerpt from A Commentary, Explanatory, Doctrinal, and Practical, on the Epistle to the Ephesians The motive for selecting this portion of the word of God for commem tary has been, that in no equally limited portion are so plainly expressed or significantly interwoven, the three essential elements of religion doc trine, experience, and practical duties. The work is not designed for the learned. Nor is this the great need of the church at this day. That there is, in fact, an excess offitl¿sfgind of instruction, we have no idea. But there is relatively. Thegreat want of the church, at this period of her his tory.and efforts, is the iurishment of the inner man the illumination of the a clear andrich acquaintance, not with verbal or historical criticism', but with the scope and moral force of the word of God. How' ever imperfectly the means of this are furnished in these notes, - and of their imperfections no reader can be more sensible than the writer himself, an honest and somewhat laborious effort has been made to instruct the plain Christian, who hungers for the bread of life, and to inspire him with a stronger desire for it. The eye of the writer has been kept steadily on one class of readers - intelligent, experienced Christians. Strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
