Excerpt from The Divine Life and the New Birth: With a Supplement on the Incarnation Two pamphlet editions of a material portion of this work, under the same title, were published in 1850. The same portion was afterwards incorporated into the volume entitled "Search of Truth." The original work, and some other of the more practical parts of the volume just named, form the basis of the present publication. To these materials large additions have been made upon kindred branches of Christian knowledge, with the hope that the whole will prove to be a Manual adapted to the needs of our time. For the reception of my first efforts by the Church at large, and by many of her most gifted sons, I have been profoundly grateful. Much of the opposition which these publications encountered proceeded from local disturbances which have long since passed away, and the rest, I think, from misapprehensions growing out of the excited temper of the times. Contention and party spirit may hardly ever be expected to cease from the Church, yet the perils of the present day have produced a very general conviction that Christians must come closer together to strive successfully for the faith once delivered. It is hoped, therefore, that all will welcome the feeblest effort to add to the unity and strength of the Christian host, and to furnish a guide to inquiring souls.
