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

Take-heed-what-you-hear

"This is the name of BOANERGES’ trumpeter. The name he bears, the office he wields, and the treatment he received, all combine to teach an instructive lesson. Thrice was this officer sent forth to summon the town; twice did he blow his blast, but there was none to answer. Yet a third time, and the sound is heard, but is answered by proud and angry words."[2]
