G eorge E. G uille: INTRODUCTION .“To rightly divide the Word of tru th is a charge laid by The Spirit of God upon every Christian.^ The present confusion in Christendom is largely due to the neg­ lect of this injunction. On every hand we are confronted with the spectacle of honest men endeavoring, by unscriptural means, to “bring in” and “advance” and build up” the Kingdom, instead of ad­ hering to the divinely-appointed mission of completing the mystery of the Church. And the Church, having been robbed of tTr lple®sed hope, is in many quarters abandoning her commission to preach the Gospel and has gone at world-mending, taking up the task of Cain and seeking to restore Paradise without Christ. The promises to Israel are made to mean everything except what they say, in order to apply them to the Church. Law and Grace are mingled together, the son of the bond-woman and of the free, growing up in the same house. Flesh and Spirit are not recognized as two contrary na­ tures in the believer, and the Christian, having begun in the Spirit, is trying to perfect the flesh. The perfection of the Christian position is not believed because it is regarded as an attainm ent instead of a gift already obtained, and Christian practice is consequently not “walking worthy of the calling,” but trying to be worthy.” Any work th at helps the believer out of this confusion and into an under­ standing of the right divisions of Scrip­ ture is to be cordially welcomed. Such a work is this booklet of Mr. Smock’s, who has rendered a most valuable service m such a clear unfolding of the Dispen­ sations. To introduce it to the Lord’s people and to commend it to .their careful study is a privilege th at is highly esteemed. _________________GEORGE E.
