On each Lord’s day large numbers of devoted men, who have not received special training for their noble work, go forth to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ.

It is impossible to overestimate the worth of their self-sacrificing labors. Thousands of pulpits in town and country would stand empty and silent but for them. And the standard of excellence set before them and realized is very high.

I have put together these chapters in as brief a form as possible, because I am addressing busy men; but they contain the results of a good deal of experience and observation, and they come with much cordial esteem to those whom I may fitly claim as brethren and fellow-workers in the gospel of our Lord.
