The Silent Pastor

THE substance of the following pages appeared in my little journal the Interpreter for a number of years. I wish and some of my friends wish that it should be put in a permanent shape as a book. These pastoral utterances express some of my deepest spiritual life. I have carefully revised them almost written them anew though I regret to say I have not been able to make them free from mistakes. I publish them for men and women in various stages of religious life and experience. I hope and pray that some of them may find help and comfort in what I have said.
