Excerpt from Calvinism Popularized: The Five Points Carbonized in a Series of Discussions With Enquirers or Opponents Fellow-Dwellers in Christ and Workers for Him, - Having of a long time shared your hopes of reaching the golden shore and spending with Jesus Heavens endless noon, I think my privilege is to write something for your upbuilding in the Beloved, which must prove more enduring than passing sermons delivered among you for a generation. I cannot enlarge the boundaries of Christian knowledge - that is given to few - but I may, by Divine aid, make plainer certain blessed truths concerning His kingdom, which, if duly apprehended, the Sabbath of God is perfected in the soul of man. That I may make clear these intentions, and accomplish this great end, it is necessary to say somewhat of the Lords dealings with myself, His raising me from the Adamic pit, and causing my erring feet to walk the narrow path towards Sion's sacred top. About fifty years since (March 1846) it pleased Him to reveal Himself as my Redeemer. From the time the convictions of God were upon me until I found relief was but a few days, during which I did little else than weep and groan. Divine joy was shed through my heart while agonising at 11 p.m. on the Lord's Day. No text was impressed upon me, I realised nothing other than this - black anguish was away, and my soul flooded with strange joy. This I understood to intimate pardon. That joy continued with intervals for a fortnight, being at times such as to oblige my walking to and fro praising God, for I could not sit. About a month after I was thrown into distress through a companion, who apparently started for the kingdom with me, falling away. My fear was that I would too. When wrestling with the Angel He sweetly said, "Through much tribulation thou shalt enter the kingdom." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
