The first volume in the first series of popular editions of Kuyper’s devotional works in new typesetting and solid matter. The volumes were also made available for individual purchase. When the final volume of the series was published (in December 1896), the price for the whole series was ƒ5.60 (unbound) and ƒ7.30 (bound).

The announcements for a cheap-edition series of collections of Kuyper’s devotional work appeared in De Standaard, no. 7342, February 12, 1896 and in De Heraut, no. 947, February 16, 1896. The following titles were supposed to begin being published in installments in popular editions: Honig uit den rotssteen, Deel I [Honey from the rock, volume I]; Uit het Woord, Serie I, Deel I en II [From the Word, series I, volumes I and II]; and Voor een distel een mirt [For a brier a myrtle]. These sets were advertised as “the first series of popular editions of Dr. A. Kuyper’s works.” Some time later, the advertisements stated that Voor een distel een mirt was going to be the first of these four volumes published. An advertisement in April 1896 announced that Voor een distel een mirt had been published. It is suspected that this printing advertised as “published” in April 1896 was actually a binding edition of the remainder of the print run (10,000) of 1894.03.
