The subject of holiness is old, yet ever new. Many books have been written on the doctrine and about the experience. It has been my purpose in this book to try to bring to the thinking of young people, especially, a greater concept of the value and scope of holiness. The chapters grew out of lectures that have been given in several young people's institutes and camps. It is my hope and desire that the book will be a great blessing to those who read it and be a challenge for them to go deeper into the things of God.

It is impossible to give acknowledgment to all who have contributed material for these lectures. The author has listened to holiness preachers from his boyhood, has read many books on the subject, and has had the privilege of teaching doctrine in our schools and colleges for a number of years. The ideas and thoughts have come from so many sources that it is impossible to give credit to them, but we acknowledge the great blessings that these persons have been throughout our lifetime.

I wish to express my appreciation to Mrs. Carol Spell Gish for reading and correcting the manuscript and to my secretary, Mrs. Helen Waller, who has faithfully prepared the copy for the printer.
