Pisgah Views

The design of Pisgah Views is to serve as a STAFF aiding faiths ascent of the glorious height of Pisgah; and then from its summit--as a TELESCOPE bringing nearer to its sanctifying and comforting view those sublime beauties and winning attractions of the land which is very far off and which in our present imperfect state are best understood and felt in their shadowy and negative forms. Now we see through a glass darkly but then face to face; now we know in part then shall we know even as also we are known. Oh sweet thought! soon we shall spring from the Pisgah of earth to the Mount Zion of Heaven exchanging the dim glass of faith for the full resplendent and eternal vision of its glory!--above and eclipsing all--the beatific vision of THE KING IN HIS BEAUTY. Octavius Winslow stood out as one of the foremost evangelical preachers of the 19th Century. A Baptist minister and contemporary of Charles Spurgeon he seceded to the Anglican church in his last decade. His Christ centered works show devotion and practicality.
