These few remarks I commend affectionately to the prayerful consideration of all brethren and sisters in the Lord with reference to their calling; for though they are written by one who never was in business himself, yet the truths therein set forth have been learned by him in the school of God, and he has had them abundantly confirmed through his pastoral labours during the last fifty-one years.
And now, farewell, beloved reader.--Very many times have I sought the Lords blessing before I began preparing this third part for the press, and very many times have I done so while writing it, and now I am most fully assured, that He will abundantly bless this part also, because of the abundance of supplication which He has wrought concerning it by His Spirit in my soul. I ask you also, dear reader, if you know the power of prayer, to unite with me in seeking the Lords blessing upon this book, and then we shall rejoice together in the answers to our prayers, if not here on earth, at least in the day of Christs appearing.
[In 1856 was published the Fourth Part of this Narrative, as a second volume.]
