PRACTICAL RELIGION

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PREFACE

IT will be observed that these papers are mostly the reports of addresses delivered at various times, in various places where God has called me to witness for Him. I have frequently been asked to publish them in one volume by those who have listened to me with thankfulness to God and profit to themselves.

Compelled in great measure to desist for a season from public speaking by bodily infirmity, I seize the opportunity to repeat on paper what I have been privileged to express in (to me) brighter days.

I pray that I may thus be allowed to continue my testimony against the attempt, now so prevalent, to serve both God and mammon, and to warn and teach everyone to flee from the wrath to come by avoiding every sin and the very appearance of evil, and by devoting themselves without reserve to the service of God and the salvation of the world: and I trust that He who has given to me these thoughts and words may restore to me the power to speak again, and to speak more boldly still.

THANK GOD, brighter days have come than I have ever known before, God having set before me an open door to vast multitudes all over the world who, three years ago, were not within our reach. In Aggressive Christianity and Godliness may be found some of my later addresses to these millions. But our views have no way changed, and I am thankful to find increasing need to supply the demand for the old volume.
