FOREWORD There has been much unavoidable delay in connection with the issue of this volume of “ T h e F undam entals ,” Volume XI. This was occasioned by the very serious illness of the former Executive Secretary of “T h e F undam entals ” Com mittee. This illness lasted for many months, only terminat ing in his death. He bore up very bravely and it was not thought wise to put the work in other hands lest he should be discouraged, feeling that there was no hope. Further delay was occasioned by the necessity of going over his manuscripts and papers and selecting such as had already been passed upon by the Committee for Volume XI and in passing upon other manuscripts in his possession. We have been greatly cheered by the letters that have come to us from all parts of the world, from ministers, mission aries, editors, college presidents, Sunday School superintend ents and others, speaking of the great personal blessing which they have received from “ T h e F und am en ta l s , ” and of the good accomplished by the various volumes in the lives of others to whom they have been passed on. The present volume will go to about one hundred thousand English-speaking Protestant pastors, evangelists, missionaries, theological professors, theological students, Y. M. C. A. sec retaries, Y. W. C. A. secretaries, Sunday School superintend ents, religious editors, and lay workers throughout the earth. May we ask the prayers of every reader that it may be abun dantly blessed, as its predecessors have been, unto the strength ening of the faith of Christians, unto the defense of the truth against the various forms of error so prevalent at the present day, and unto the conversion of a multitude of the unsaved. There is a large circle of prayer formed of men and women in all parts of the earth who know God and who are upholding
