Life and Times of David
Excerpt:

"Man's extremity is God's opportunity." This is a very familiar saying. It often passes among us; and, no doubt, we fully believe it; but yet, when we find ourselves brought to our extremity, we are often very little prepared to count on God's opportunity. It is one thing to utter or hearken to a truth, and another thing to realize the power of that truth. It is one thing, when sailing over a calm sea, to speak of God's ability to keep us in the storm, and it is another thing altogether to prove that ability when the storm is actually raging around us. And yet God is ever the same. In the storm and in the calm, in sickness and in health, in pressure and in ease, in poverty and in abundance, "the same yesterday, and to-day, and forever"—the same grand reality for faith to lean upon, cling to and draw upon, at all times and under all circumstances.

About the Author

Charles Henry Mackintosh, born in the early 1800's and died on November 6, 1896 was the sone of Captain Duncan Mackintosh, an officer in one of the Highland regiments. In 1838 he worked in Limerick, Ireland and Dublin and connected himself with the Plymouth Brethren. About 1874, Mackintosh wrote, "I had not the honour of being among the first of those who planted their feet on the blessed ground occupied by Brethren. I left the Establishment about the year 1839, and took my place at the table in Dublin, where dear Bellett was ministering with great acceptance ... As a young man I, of course, walked in retirement, having no thought of coming forward in public ministry of any kind ... Indeed, I may say that nothing but the most solemn sense of responsibility could ever have induced me to stand up in public."

In 1843 Mackintosh wrote Peace with God. At twenty-four years, he opened a private school at Westport where he taught classical languages. The Great Irish Potato Famine of 1845-1850 raged and there was intense suffering for the common people. His writing continued.
