COMPILED BY JAMES SMITH

ames Smith was a prolific writer, and his daily readings and devotionals in particular were highly esteemed and hugely popular. ‘My object, ‘ said our author, ‘is to lead the mind from self–to Jesus; from sin–to salvation; from the troubles of life–to the comforts of the gospel. My aim is to humble the sinner–and exalt the Saviour; to strip the creature–and place the crown on the head of God’s free grace! I cannot ascribe too much to Jesus–or too little to man!’ Some daily devotionals are longer, and demand a fair amount of time. Some are briefer, and take a few moments to read over. These golden nuggets of truth will take only a moment to consider, but will give you matter for a day’s consideration and comfort. — from the Introduction
