Excerpt from Library of the Thelogical Seminary
This volume is intended as a companion to "The Graphs Of Eshcol."
The latter contains a series of meditations on the glory and blessedness of a future Heaven - the rest which remaineth for the people of God, - 'Gleanings from the Land of Promise.' The present, embraces the complementary theme indicated by the name on the title-page, the "rest" of Grace here, preparatory to the "rest" of Glory hereafter. As in the case, too, of the other, it is designed especially for the comfort and refreshment of those in the "Valleys" (as Elim means), - the varied valleys of earthly tribulation, God's own children of sorrow; to be "a shadow in the day-time from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain" (Isa. iv.6).
There is a foretasted heaven on earth. "The Palms Of Elim" afforded their grateful shade not in Canaan but in the wilderness. Even the gatherings from Eshcol were borne "on this side Jordan." Bunyan's hero was soothed and quickened as he listened, while yet at a distance, to the bells of the Celestial City.
