from the dead; and it is our humble hope, inspired by the gospel of Jesus, that the whole human race shall be brought to the enjoyment of a sinless, incorruptible immortality.

May the perusal of these pages induce in the mind of the reader, a sincere desire to know the truth, and to gain a knowledge of the true sense of the sacred scriptures. May they inspire him with a reverence of the character of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; of the manner of his instructions; of the purity of his morality; of his wisdom in difficult circumstances; of his kind regard for sinners; and above all, of his obedience and resignation to the will of God. May they cause him to imitate, so far as human nature can do, the greatest pattern of wisdom, meekness, piety and benevolence, which the world hath ever seen.
