MacDuff, J. – The Cities of Refuge

The Cities of Refuge
or, “The Name of Jesus”
A BOOK FOR THE YOUNG
by John MacDuff, 1874

In this short work (9 Chapters) MacDuff examines the parallel between the cities of refuge in the Old Testament and the refuge we are given in the Gospel.

“How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer’s ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.”

My dear friends,

This little book contains, with a few additions, the substance of what was spoken one Sunday to a number of hearers of your own age. It may serve to recall to those that listened to it, and to unfold to those who did not, some simple and well-known, but precious gospel truths.
May He whose NAME it is designed to exalt—bless you in reading it, and enable you from the heart to repeat as your own happy experience, the well-known verse of the beautiful hymn I have put on the title-page.
