"Another book? When will you stop?" Not as long as we have a vision. "Where there is no vision the people perish." Daniel lived ahead of his generation, He said, "I alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision: but a great quaking fell upon them so that they fled to hide themselves." Visions come to those who like Daniel, practice self-denial and live on a high plane.
One might naturally conclude that after the writer had passed three score years, and spent about $60,000.00 in publishing some fifty books, he then had a right to sit down, fold his hands and quit. But no, this would be suicidal. The older we become, the larger and richer should be the outlook.
The study of Bible characters is very interesting and profitable. Human nature is about the same in all ages. Wherein our forefathers failed we ought to take warning, and wherein they succeeded we should be inspired. From the many characters in Holy Writ, we have selected twenty from which to draw lessons for our everyday life.
You will observe that these messages were delivered on various occasions in different parts of the world, hence an occasional repetition of thought. For this and any other idiosyncrasies we beg your forbearance. Had I waited to produce a "polished book," I might have accomplished what so many great and gifted men have so nobly done -- lived well, died poor, but produced nothing calculated to mold character for God.
Trusting that the perusal of this unpretentious volume may inspire the gentle reader to higher heights and deeper depths in God, I am, as ever,
