Excerpt from Honey From Many Hives
This book, O reader, is for your closet, your secret place of private prayer and meditation. Such a place I trust you have. Busy times, to be sure, are these, and much seems to press upon us for doing; but what shall it profit if we gain all knowledge and all riches, and even cast out many of the devils that torment the age, while we do not properly know our own souls or make any real acquaintance with God? Take things a little more calmly. It needs time to be holy. Give ten minutes a day to quietly pondering some of the paragraphs which you will find in these carefully culled pages. Such a practice will work the most beneficent of revolutions in your life. For before you have penetrated far into this volume you will discover that it is not like other books. It contains the cream of many centuries, and could in no way have been produced by any one man, however wise or saintly. If you shall learn to love it and prize it at its true worth, you will make it your close and constant companion, nor will you consent to part with it for many times its price. Take it, then, not only into your closet, but into your mind and heart, and become by means of it a full sharer in the sacred joys of those who walk with God.
