THE careful student of the prophetic Scriptures cannot fail to observe that in both the Old and New Testaments, the Spirit of God directs attention to a time of very special trial involving the pouring out of divine wrath upon men, known as “the great tribulation,” “the time of Jacob’s trouble,”...

We can never understand the utter desolation of Christ’s disciples during the days that lay betwixt Christ’s death and His resurrection. Our faith rests on centuries. We know that that grave was not even an interruption to the progress of His work, but was the straight road to His triumph and...

THE wonderful results which have followed the evangelistic labours in this country of the two devoted American brethren whose names are now familiar to us as household words, has once again brought home to the Church of God the great truth that the Gospel of Christ, when faithfully proclaimed, is...

It is not a eulogy that I wish to write, but a record. I should like to show the man, not to execute a piece of sculpture. In doing this, it will be needful to introduce ‘companions in labour,’—from him who died first, Robert M‘Cheyne, to him who went last, William Burns; with others still...

This book contains the amplification of Lectures and Bible Readings which I have had the privilege of giving, first at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, 1905–10, then at the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, 1911, and subsequently at other Bible Institutes and at several Bible Conferences in America. I have...

A CLEAR and thoroughly Biblical book on the kingdom in the Scriptures has long been a desideratum. Perhaps no truth of the divine revelation has suffered more at the hands of interpreters than that concerning the kingdom. Following the Roman Catholic interpretation, Protestant theology has very generally...

A minister must be both learned and religious. It is not a matter of choosing between the two. He must study, but he must study as in the presence of God and not in a secular spirit. He must recognize the privilege of pursuing his studies in the environment where God and salvation from sin are the...

The Sermons contained in this volume were originally delivered on consecutive Sabbath mornings in the regular course of my ministry at Richmond Hill. They are essentially spoken sermons, and they have been printed exactly as they were spoken. I have derived help from various quarters in the preparation...

MY subject to-night is the first question that God ever asked of man. You will find that question in Gen. 3:9, “Where art thou?” God asked the question of Adam. Adam had sinned, and on the evening of that awful day of the first sin the voice of God in its majesty was heard rolling down the avenues...

Not a great while ago, passing through the gate of dreams, I visited that region of the earth in which lies the famous city of Destruction. It interested me much to learn that, by the public spirit of some of the inhabitants, a railroad has recently been established between this populous and flourishing...

Unless it should be our happy lot to be among those who are still living in the body when the Lord Jesus Himself descends from heaven with that assembling shout spoken of in 1 Thess., chap. 4, we who believe in Him must go the way of all flesh. Our earthly house of this tabernacle must be dissolved—that...

“To me to live is Christ.” What did the apostle mean? There are seven things which he might have meant. By these words he intended to say that: Christ was the author of his life. It was as though he had written, “To me to live at all is Christ.” Christ was the sustainer of his life. “To...

On July 31, 1914, the ill-fated Lusitania landed at New York after what proved her last peace voyage. A week later two of her passengers proceeded to the Conference at Northfield, where some two thousand Christian people were gathered in sight of the grave of D. L. Moody. It was very hard for us all,...

Of the Sermons collected in the present volume, the first five and the seventh were preached before the University of Oxford, the sixth was preached before the University of Cambridge, the last five were preached in the Cathedral at Christchurch.1 The volume (the idea of which is due to the suggestion...
