The worldwide movement which Dr. Simpson initiated is still going forward with ever increasing momentum. He built so wisely, with Christ rather than self in the foreground, that when his personal leadership was no longer available, the teachings and principles which he enunciated continued to hold his followers together in loyalty to his great objectives. Some of the secrets of this permanent building will be found in these messages. All who would become missionaries of the Cross or sharers by prayer and sacrifice in the world’s noblest enterprise will do well to study them carefully. The sermons herein printed were chosen as being characteristic of this great missionary statesman. In so brief a compass it is manifestly impossible to set forth in any adequate way the scope of the vision which was granted to him.

The chief purpose in sending forth this volume is to pass on the inspiration of these great sermons to a generation which knows them only by repute. May a multitude of lives be offered unto God for His glorious service through these messages, and may many of God’s stewards be quickened to a livelier sense of privilege and responsibility!
