[CHAPTER III]
SECRET STUDY OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES.

Here burning hearts and there the beatific sight.

Let me now put before my reader and Brother a few more detailed remarks and suggestions on that subject. Such is the holy Book, and such is the variety of possible modes of study, that all I can dream of doing is to touch some parts and sides of the matter which present themselves with special impressiveness to my own mind, or which experience of the needs of friends has suggested to me somewhat particularly.
HIGHER CRITICISM.
