Excerpt from Old Lanterns for Present Paths The Old prophet, Jeremiah, the light of Whose lantern I wish, if possible, to cast upon the pathway of the young, seems, before all others, the young people's prophet. He was himself a very young man when he began to prophesy. I am but a child, he says of himself. He was timid, shrinking, bashful by nature, but bold, uncompromising, utterly fearless by grace. He was an ardent reformer, a good citizen, a mighty advocate Of righteousness. He lived in troublous-and eventful times. He suffered imprisonment in a foul and miry dun geon for righteousness' sake. He stood before kings and was the counsellor of monarchs. He dared to take the unpopular side. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
