DEDICATION TO THE POOR OF THE EAST END AMONG WHOM MR. CHARRINGTON HAS LABOURED SO LONG
Then shall the righteous man stand in great boldness before the face of such as have afflicted him, and made no account of his labours.
When they see it, they shall be troubled with terrible fear, and shall be amazed at the strangeness of his salvation, so far beyond all that they looked for.
And they repenting and groaning for anguish of spirit shall say within themselves, This was he whom we had sometimes in derision, and a proverb of reproach:
We fools counted his life madness, and his end to be without honour:
How is he numbered among the children of God, and his lot is among the saints! —Wisdom of Solomon.
