How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! Third Thousand. Canticles. LONDON: JAMES NISBET & CO., 21 BERNERS STREET. INTRODUCTION. I PLEAD for a neglected bit of the Christian armour. The strong helmet, the sharp sword, the ready shield,-even the shining breastplate,-have many wearers. But the quiet shoes are out of date. I think people wellnigh forget that such things are possible. Yet there stands the injunction: 'Your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.'-EPH. vi. 15. While the old and never-revoked promise covers all the roughness, of every road. 'Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.'-DEUT. xxxiii. 25. August 1884. |
