Excerpt from Hours Among the Gospels: Or Wayside Truths From the Life of Our Lord

Two musical notes produce a higher effect when sounding in harmony, than when heard singly in succession. Two slightly different views of the same scene, blended in the stereoscope, give a single view far more life-like than that which either presents when seen by itself.

Thus two separated portions of Divine truth are sometimes found to be so remarkably related to each other, that being brought together, a far more striking, if not a wholly new impression is obtained.

Such works as Paley's "Horoe Paulinoe" and Blunt's "Undesigned Coincidences of the Old and New Testaments, " valuable as they are for the special object of establishing the minute truthfulness of the Sacred Writers, secure perhaps even a higher result, in incidentally eliciting the fuller and more vivid meanings of those portions of Scripture with which they deal.

In pursuing the study of the Gospel records, the author has, from time to time, noted such passages as have been found to receive striking illustration from unexpected sources. The chief of these, with their illustrations, are herewith presented. Sometimes, as will be seen, the illustration comes from outside the Gospel history.
