God’s Inheritance in the Saints. A man belongs to God by the affection of his heart, by the submission of his will, by the reference of his actions to Him; and he who thus belongs to God, in the same act in which he gives himself to God, receives God as his possession. The thing must be reciprocal.

 This work contains discourses on the Kingdom of Christ, redemption, the Image of God, the Creator, Christ in providence, the beginning and the first-born from the dead. Written by Thomas Guthrie (1803-1873), a Scottish philanthropist and divine. He was an extremely popular preacher, remembered for his work with the temperance movement and the Ragged Schools, charitable institutions for destitute children of which he was a founder. His other works included ‘The Gospel in Ezekiel’, ‘The City, its Sins and Sorrows’, ‘The Parables and ‘Early Piety’. Illustrated with a portrait of the author as a frontispiece.
