Smith, James-Handfuls on Purpose
James Smith was a predecessor of Charles Spurgeon at New Park Street Chapel in London from 1841 until 1850. Early on, Smith’s readings were even more popular than Spurgeon’s!-www.gracegems.org
PREFACE
These Handfuls have been sent out after much prayerful study of the Word in the hope that they might be helpful to some busy workers for the Master who may not have much leisure for study.
In these days when there is so much to tempt us away from the simplicity of the Truth it is needful for us to have our own minds and hearts well fortified with the deep and powerful thoughts of God. Other facts and things may interest and amuse, but we must have the “sincere milk of the Word” if we are to grow. Everything that awakens and increases our appreciation of the Word of God is of immense value to our spiritual life, but our love for and delight in the Word will only be in proportion as we go on to experience its mighty power in our lives. We are convinced that the way to stir up and deepen the desires of others after Christ and the Scriptures is to present those God-given truths which meet the needs of an individual soul in all its various states and conditions. No book in all the world comes within a thousand miles of the Bible in this great and glorious mission, “Preach the Word.”

That there should be a growing demand from an ever-widening circle of interested workers for such plain spiritual teaching is hopeful and gratifying. “Points” and “Outlines” are but for the aid of the memory, and should be reckoned only of secondary importance.
In preparing these notes we have earnestly endeavored to get into the heart-thoughts of the Word, so that weary workers might find food for the strengthening of their tired and hungry hearts.
We count it a great privilege and honor to be in this way a co-worker with any toiler in the Master’s vineyard. If we can but help to sharpen another worker’s weapons for the fight, or carry a cup of cold water to those who are bearing the burden and heat of the day, we will rejoice, and do rejoice.
