The Inner Chamber and the Inner LifeThe Inner Chamber suggests thoughts of the utmost importance. The daily need of retirement and quiet; the true spirit of prayer; the devotional reading of God's Word; the fellowship with God for which these are meant and by which alone they bring a blessing; the spriritual life which they are meant to strengthen and fit for daily duty in intercourse with the world; the service for the kingdom of God in soul-winning and intercession -- all these truths have their share in making our devotions a source of joy and of strength. In this little book I have not attempted to take them up systematically, but I hope that the fragments I have given may bring help to some in the cultivation of the hidden life and its intercourse with God. - Preface. |
