Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Messiah Pulpit, 1901-1902: Sermons of M. J. Savage
They were brethren of one faith and one family, the faith of their great forefather, Abraham, a man of the inward light, as George Fox was, and, like F ox, was much given to visions.
In his early life the forefather found a deep concern in his heart touching the one true God in a land wholly given to idolatries. And in a vision, as we read, he was hidden to go forth from his native land in quest of a new home beyond the great river and the mountains, and on the line of the most pregnant emigrations, from that time to this, from the east westward, trending north. And so he went forth, not knowing whither he went, but guided still by the inward light toward the promised land.
And the forefather Jacob had blessed their sires when he lay a-dying; and Moses, their leader and lawgiver, had come on his mission from the Most High to set them free from the brutal bondage into which they had fallen on the delta of the Nile, to raise them from serfs to be men again, and had led them through the desert to this promised land where they had now been settled, it may be, some three hundred years.
