This book is a welcome successor to the writer's former volume on
the same subject, which was entitled Helps To Holiness. The aim of
both is intensely practical. The former has won for itself a
permanent place in the literature of this great subject, and I have
little doubt but that the present work will prove equally useful to
the plain people for whom it is written -- pilgrims, soldiers of
Christ, who are seeking how they may order their lives and train
their hearts in holiness and righteousness before Him.
I have said that the aim of these papers is a practical one. Nothing
would, I am convinced, be more unsatisfactory to the author, a
gifted officer of The Salvation Army, than that the perusal of what
he has written here should result merely in a better understanding
of the theory of salvation, or even in increased knowledge of the
will of God. He has aimed at something more than this -- to help men
and women to enjoy that salvation, and to enjoy it now, and to lead
every reader to do that will, and to do it all the time.
The glorious experience here described and enforced is the true
secret of a life of happiness and usefulness on earth as it is the
highest preparation for the life and service of Heaven. That
experience is for you.
