Excerpt from The People's Bible, Vol. 17: Discourses Upon Holy Scripture; Hosea Malachi In concluding my pastoral notes upon the Old Testament I feel that the necessities of space have seriously curtailed the outline which I had hoped to fill up. The same remark will apply to the eight volumes devoted to the New Testament. From the outset the number of volumes was fixed at twenty-five, and I cannot but think that the number ought not to be enlarged. I look back upon my labours with religious thankfulness. Sometimes I am inclined to think that I have had but little to do with The People's Bible. I have been but an instrument in the hands of God. I can own nothing but the imperfections of the service. I believe the work can claim a large degree of uniqueness in the printed history of the Christian pulpit. That one man should comment upon the whole Bible is a novelty in these latter days, when all kinds of labour have been classified and distributed by an analysis which has been jealous lest any worker should encroach upon the task of another.
