AUTHOR'S PREFACE.

THE sermons contained in this volume were delivered in the First Methodist Episcopal Church, Cleveland, of which I am pastor, in a series of revival meetings, beginning with watch-night, and continuing through the month of January, 1899. The themes had been selected long before and material gathered from time to time, but they were finally prepared, and dictated to my stenographer day by day as delivered. A very gracious revival of religion was awakened by their delivery, and a large number of persons were converted and received into the church as the result. The other volumes of this series, including "Christ and His Friends," "The Fisherman and His Friends," and "Paul and His Friends," have received such a widespread welcome not only in this country, but throughout the English-speaking world, that I am encouraged to hope that the present volume will be at least as valuable as any that have gone before it in suggestive and illustrative material, for all those who count it their greatest joy in life to win souls to Christ.

CLEVELAND, May 23, 1899.

LOUIS ALBERT BANKS.
