Excerpt from Gleanings in Holy Fields The spiritual harvests of the Holy Land have been rich beyond comparison, and the labourers have been numerous beyond count. But what astonishes one most in that wonderful land is what remains in it over and above, that has not been gathered into the garner. The gleanings of it are more abundant than the whole harvests of other lands. Every reaper seems, like the young men of Boaz in the fields of Bethlehem, to let fall some of the handfuls on purpose for the benefit of his successor. I have been gleaning "even among the sheaves, " and I trust that for what I have stored up in this form I shall not be "reproached." I may explain that nearly all the subjects treated in this book are more or less of an antiquarian nature. They have been selected for that reason, so that there is a bond of common character between them, however diverse in other respects. They introduce the reader into some bypaths of Scripture study which are not commonly known, and the practical religious reflections which they suggest, may have, it is hoped, a new interest from this unusual association.
