Our Free Church leaders are constantly urging upon us the importance of instructing our young people in the principles of our Free Church faith. They tell us that upon the measure of the intelligence with which our young people grasp our fundamental principles, the future, not simply of the Free Churches,...

The Expositions in this volume were originally given as Sunday morning lectures. They are printed in deference to the wishes of members of my congregation, who, finding them helpful when first delivered, desire to possess them in more permanent form. They do not lay claim to any originality. I have...

It is in the power of events to alter the perspective of our beliefs. A change of circumstances often results in a change of emphasis in our creeds. What was once background—only vaguely felt and understood—owing to some transformation of conditions, leaps suddenly into the foreground and becomes...

Whenever John’s account of the sequence of events differs from the account given by the Synoptics, my own inclination is always to accept John’s account as the more accurate. For John wrote his Gospel last, when the three other Gospels were already widely known throughout the Church; and I cannot...

There is no question to which the human soul more eagerly desires a clear and sure answer than this one: “If a man die, shall he live again?” It is an old, old question. Job asked it long ago in an agony. The one fact he could see, the one fact which admitted of no challenge or dispute, was the...

We resume the thread of the Gospel narrative at the mission of the twelve Apostles. Jesus must have had a heavy heart when He took His leave of Nazareth. It seemed as if rejection was to be His invariable lot. For His rejection at the hands of the dwellers in Decapolis had been swiftly followed by...

It is with the present-day application of the words of my text I am concerned, so I do not propose to spend much time in examining and explaining the context. Let it be sufficient to say that it was of the returned Israel the prophet first wrote or spoke these words. Ever since the deportation to...

When Christ rose again, says the inspired Apostle, He “brought life and immortality to light.” He made clear what had previously been hidden and dark; He made sure what had previously been doubtful; He converted a perhaps into a certitude, a speculation into an assurance. But while He threw light...

The great need of our day is not the discovery of new truths, but the vitalization of old ones, and the man of the hour would be he who could breathe new life into certain simple, elementary truths which have been in the Church’s possession throughout all the years of her continuance. We have quite...

I am not going to discuss in any detail the beautiful story of the calling of the first disciples—full of instruction and inspiration though it is. My interest just now is not in the men who were called, but in the Man who called them; not in Andrew or John or James or even in Peter, but in Jesus....

“A root out of a dry ground”! What idea does this figure suggest to you? It suggests to me the idea of unexpectedness, unaccountableness, miraculousness. A “dry ground”—that is not exactly the kind of place we expect a root to shoot out from. A “dry ground”—that is not exactly the...

Was Saul’s conversion as sudden as it seemed? Of course, to all outward appearance nothing could have been more sudden or unexpected. It was so sudden that people could not believe that it had really taken place. They could not believe that the man who left Jerusalem to persecute any Christians...

October, 1901. Lawyer and private enquiries agent Karl Werthen accepts an assignment to protect the famous Irish writer Bram Stoker while on a speaking tour of Vienna.
