About This Item
Philadelphia, Pa: Henry Altemus Company. Hardcover. Good/None. On the ffep a gift inscription is written as follows: A Merry Christmas/from/ Lorie and Beryl/ Christmas 1922/." Date of publication of the work is not stated, however, it is presumably 1922 or before. Some fraying on the edges and spine. Work has blue and gray covers with gold line separating the two on the front cover. Title on the front cover is still legible. This could well be a first edition. Some tanning from age but binding appears still tight.
Synopsis
Henry Drummond was a Scottish evangelical writer and lecturer. This volume contains, in addition to the address "Love: The Greatest Thing in the World", a number of other addresses which will bring help and blessing to many. In the words of D.L. Moody, "I was staying with a party of friends in a country house during my visit to England in 1884. On Sunday evening as we sat around the fire, they asked me to read and expound some portion of Scripture. Being tired after the services of the day, I told them to ask Henry Drummond, who was one of the party. After some urging he drew a small Testament from his hip pocket, opened it at the 13th chapter of I Corinthians, and began to speak on the subject of Love. It seemed to me that I had never heard anything so beautiful, and I determined not to rest until I brought Henry Drummond to Northfield to deliver that address. Since then I have requested the principals of my schools to have it read before the students every year. The one great need in our Christian life is love, more love to God and to each other. Would that we could all move into that Love chapter, and live there."
