Read the Introduction by Rev. Robert Maguire, D. D.

Mr. God's-Peace

Mr. God's-Peace was made governor of the town of Mansoul.[3]

"The last of this great series of gifts was in the appointment of a new officer over the town—Mr. GOD’S-PEACE. This principle pervades all, and rules over all, in the soul of the believer. Its origin is from heaven. It is that peace of God shed abroad in the heart which blesses and sanctifies the whole man—body, soul, and spirit; and, under its genial sway, all faith, and hope, and love, and joy, are multiplied; the thoughts are joyous, the feelings happy, and the soul at peace!"[2]
