These “Faith Papers” are designed to present experimental aspects of faith. Hence, they are written in the terms of experience rather than those of doctrine. They have, however, as the author believes, a sound Scriptural and doctrinal basis. Each of these Papers is adapted to meet a definite soul-want. They are spiritual specifics for the cure of some form of unbelief. The first five treat of Saving Faith, and the last five of Special Faith. The thought of these Papers was evolved by the author when driven to special prayer and searching of the Word of God in the midst of a continuous revival work, as a presiding elder in the Ohio Conference. May they scintillate the holy glow of the hallowed flame whence they sprang! These Papers first appeared in a now extinct periodical, “The Beulah Land.” Subsequently, the first five were published in tract form. The circulation of these brought so many testimonials of their helpfulness to souls, together with so many requests from able ministers and eminent Christian workers that they be given permanent form, and having for five years waited to carefully review and apply the faith-principles herein taught in pastoral evangelistic work, the author now commits them in this volume to the Church, devoutly praying that they may have the sanction of the Holy Spirit as they go forth to the world. (From the author's preface.)
The Table of Contents are as follows:
Paper 1: THE WAY TO FAITH
Paper 2: THE WAY OF FAITH: WHAT TO BELIEVE
Paper 3: THE WAY OF FAITH: HOW TO BELIEVE
Paper 4: THE WITNESS OF FAITH: ITS ELEMENTS
Paper 5: THE WITNESS OF FAITH: ITS EXPERIENCE
Paper 6: THE FULLNESS OF FAITH: ITS CHARACTERISTICS
Paper 7: THE FULLNESS OF FAITH: ITS EFFECTS
Paper 8: THE FULLNESS OF FAITH: ITS ATTAINMENT
Paper 9: THE GIFT OF FAITH
Paper 10: THE PRAYER OF FAITH
About the author:
Samuel Ashton Keen (1842-1895) was an eloquent, American Methodist preacher. Keen was raised in a Christian home and dedicated his life to Christ at an early age. He fought in the Civil War (for the Union army), and proceeded to higher education at Ohio Wesleyan University after being discharged.
He spent the remainder of his life as a travelling evangelist, covering all of North America.
He is doubtless best remembered for his iconic "papers" that have been published and shared for generations. Whether it is his "Salvation Papers," "Praise Papers," "Pentecostal Papers," or "Faith Papers," you are sure to be blessed in your reading of them.
