The addresses in this book have been delivered to large audiences of business and professional men in cities and large towns in Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, England, Scotland, and Ireland. Many who have been helped by them have urged me to put them into book form in order that they may be preserved for reference, and that they may be circulated among friends, hence this volume.
In Melbourne the Town Hall was packed with 2500 men of all classes at the noon hour each day to listen to these addresses. In Sydney I am told that in the crowd that thronged the Centenary Hall there were many prominent business men and members of both Houses of the Legislature, who curtailed their mid-day meal each day to attend. In Great Britain and Ireland men very prominent in commercial and professional life, a large number of University men, both professors and students, have spoken to me of the help that has come to them from these addresses, not a few having been shaken in their faith by the critical discussions of the present day. Many agnostics, skeptics, Unitarians, and destructive critics have testified publicly to having been led by these lectures to give up their former erroneous positions. I have been especially encouraged by the number of my brethren in the ministry who have testified in public and private of the help received. I pray that these addresses may be used in this printed form to lead many thousands more out into the light and strength that come from faith in the Bible and in the Christ of the Bible.
