Publisher's Synopsis
"Even so, Father-for so it seemed good in your sight." -Matthew 11:26 I heard these words uttered but the other day, under affecting circumstances, at a young Christian's deathbed. Pulpit themes should take their hue and color, if possible, from events and impressions of the hour. I have accordingly thought it might not be unprofitable to select this beautiful saying as suggestive of a few appropriate meditations. I separate it from its connection in the passage where it occurs. I shall not even regard the verse, in what is its highest and holiest meaning, as an utterance of the Savior; but look at it as it stands, the simple expression of devout submission to the mysterious decrees of God on the part of all His true people.
