Charles Henry Mackintosh known world wide as “C.H.M.” was born in 1820 in Country Wicklow, Ireland. He was spiritually stirred when he was eighteen by letters from his sister after her conversion. But his own peace was resolved by the sentence: “It is Christ's work for us, not His work in us, that gives us peace” in J.N. Darby's “Operations of the Spirit.”
In 1844 he opened a school at Westport, undertaking the educational work with enthusiasm. Fearing that the school was becoming his primary interest rather than Christ's work, he gave it up in 1853 and thereafter concentrated on writing and preaching.
It is his writing “Notes on the Pentateuch” That continue to be read and to change lives around the world. His first tract in 1843 was “The Peace of God,” whereas his last, shortly before his death in 1896, was “The God of Peace.”
THE MACKINTOSH TREASURY was originally published in 1898 in six volumes under the title “Miscellaneous Writings.”
