BY JAMES W. ALEXANDER, D. D.

PHILADELPHIA: PRESBYTERIAN BOARD OF PUBLICATION, No. 265 CHESTNUT STREET.

Entered according to the Act of Congress in the year 1852, by
Alexander W. Mitchell, M. D.
In the office of the Clerk of the District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

The following meditations on Patience, though once delivered in substance to a Christian assembly, were written as a pastoral gift to an esteemed friend, who had been more than two years confined to her dwelling by a dangerous, lingering, and sometimes exceedingly painful malady. May the good Lord carry his truth with a blessing to other chambers of trial!
