CHARTS MAY BE ABUSED, and too much made of them, and not enough reliance placed upon Scripture which the chart is meant to illustrate. On the other hand, of its use and help we are more and more
convinced. The Holy Spirit gives us in the Word itself repeated examples of this use of illustrations to simplify the truths presented, and we see this in the teaching of our Lord Jesus here on earth.
A chart may be compared to an architect's plans, which he uses side by side with his specifications which may by themselves not be sufficient to convey the project clearly. But when the architect spreads out his plans, reads the specifications, points out each part on the plan, the whole can be readily taken in, the mind being thus instructed through the eye. The Word of God is our specifications; all, all our information is found within its sacred pages, and we would use the chart only as a plan to give its various parts and divisions and thus simplify them for the earnest soul. The writer has sought simplicity and plainness, and hence many things in themselves helpful, and used by others to profit, have been purposely kept out, featuring only the main outlines of the dispensations, and their connection with the six days' work in the first chapter of Genesis. We have added a few things, here and there, which we trust will be found helpful, and a note below each dispensation to give the seed thoughts in each period. This is sent out with prayer for blessing, and especially that its study may stimulate the reader to a keener relish and love for the precious Word of God itself, to search every part of it as for hid treasures.
