After a ministry of twelve years, and a ministry which God had been pleased in many ways to bless, I was sitting one day doing what a merchant would call "taking an account of stock." I could not but praise the Lord for His goodness to me, but I found that I was without that which many others in whom I had most perfect confidence claimed to have received. There was a feeling of unrest and a longing for God which never can be put in words. The darkness seemed to increase as the days passed on. I felt that there must come some help to me from a source higher than man.
When I was ready to hear and obey, God spoke to me. It was in a singular way. I was reading in a secular paper an extended account of the Northfield Conference, when my eye lighted on the name of the Rev. F. B. Meyer. One sentence of his I shall never forget: "If you are not willing to forsake all for Christ, then are you simply willing to say, 'I am willing to be made willing'?"
That was God's own message to my very soul, and Mr. Meyer brought it to me from Him. It
was the crisis of my life. From that day on I have read all that I could find coming from his pen.
I do not believe that there is a more intensely spiritual, and, at the same time, so helpful and practical a writer in the world to-day as this man, whom I rejoice to call my friend.
These meditations are sweet as honey in the honeycomb. They open up the deep things of God, but in such a helpful way that anyone may understand if he is only willing.
I could wish my friends no greater blessing than that Mr. Meyer's message might be to them all that it has been to me.
