It is a pleasure to commend this volume to the attention of all who are interested in the problems which center in the living of the sanctified life. The dominant emphasis throughout these lectures is on the practical aspects of holy living. The author has attacked problems which have not often come to the focus of discussion, and has placed us all in his debt by the candor and sanity with which he has met them. The enthusiasm and verve which characterized the original delivery of the lectures gave them the quality of unction. Reduced to the printed page, that quality is difficult to retain. Yet the author has succeeded in retaining it to a commendable degree. The result is a book so broad in its sympathies and understanding as to speak in some degree to the condition of everyone who reads it. The author is one who knows his subject, who understands the hearts of men, and (what is most important) who knows God. It is my earnest prayer that his book will be a means of grace and blessing to all into whose hands it may chance to come.
