"PALMS OF ELIM" or "Rest and Refreshment in the Valleys"

"PALMS OF ELIM" or "Rest and Refreshment in the Valleys" by John MacDuff, 1879 "After leaving Marah, they came to Elim ('Valleys'), where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees. They camped there beside the springs." Exodus 15:27 (Elim was an oasis in the desert.) This volume is intended for the comfort and refreshment for God's own children of sorrow—for those in the varied 'valleys' of earthly tribulation. The "palm trees of Elim" afford their grateful shade not in Canaan, but in the wilderness. Pilgrims of eternity! weary and travel-worn, fainting under the burden and fear of the day—may you find here in these pages, with their figurative 'palm trees', restful, consolatory thoughts. "This is the resting place, let the weary rest; and this is the place of repose" Isaiah 28:12 "I delight to sit in His shade, and His fruit is sweet to my taste." Song 2:3 "The Sovereign Lord has given me his words of wisdom, so that I know what to say to all these weary ones." Isaiah 50:4 1.
