G u ille: INTRODUCTION “To rig h tly divide th e W ord of tru th is a charge laid by th e Spirit of God upon every C hristian.^ The p resen t confusion m C hristendom is largely due to th e n eg­ lect of th is injunction. . On every hand we are confronted w ith th e spectacle of ho n est m en endeavoring, by u n scn p tu ral m eans, to “b rin g in” and “advance” and build up the K ingdom , in stead of ad­ h erin g to the divinely-appointed m ission of com pleting the m y stery of th e Church. A nd t?ihe C hurch* h aving been robbed of h er blessed hope, is ^ in m any q u arters abandoning h er comm ission to preach the Gospel and has gone a t w orld-m ending, tak in g up the task of Cain and seeking to resto re P aradise w ithout C hrist. The prom ises to Israel are m ade to m ean ev ery th in g except w hat they say, in order to apply them to th e Church. Law and Grace are m ingled together, the son of th e bond-w om an and of th e free, grow ing up m the sam e house. Flesh and Spirit are no t recognized as tw o co n trary n a ­ tu res in th e believer, and th e C hristian, having begun in th e S pirit, is try in g to perfect th e flesh. ^The perfection of the C hristian position is no t believed because it is #regarded as an attain m en t instead of ** ft already obtained, and C hristian practice is consequently no t “w alking w orthy of the calling,” b u t trying to be w orthy.” A ny w ork th a t helps th e believer out of th is confusion and into an u n d er­ stan d in g of th e rig h t divisions of Scrip­ tu re is to be^ cordially welcomed. Such a w ork is th is booklet of M r. Sm ock’s, who has rendered a m ost valuable service m such a clear unfolding of the D ispen­ sations. To introduce it to th e L ord’s people and to comm end it to th eir careful study is a privilege th a t is highly esteem ed. _______ GEORGE, E.
