Another book? Yes. The thirty-fifth, this time a companion to "Heart Searching Sermons and Sayings." When we first began publishing tracts and booklets about thirty years ago, without capital, or friends, little did we dream that God would be pleased to multiply the loaves and fishes until over 200,000,000 pages had gone out over the earth. "Behold how great a matter a little fire kindleth."
Bishop Hogue said of our first Volume of Sermons, "It is your crowning production." Perhaps he was right. But since the first edition of 5000 are nearly exhausted, rather than reprint another edition we prefer to give our friends something new and fresh.
The tendency of this age is to generalize, rather than specify truth and error. Such preaching sounds well and gives temporary joy, but does not awaken the conscience, nor produce sturdy characters of the Finney and John the Baptist type. While the author is frequently led to comfort the saints, in these humble messages he has been held chiefly to such truths as are calculated to "Search the Soul." Hence the Title.
No pretense whatever has been made to eloquence, or sparkling wit, but rather to that which digs deep and lays a rock foundation. Some of these messages were reported, hence lack the polish they might have had were they carefully written for a book. It is to be regretted that in order to promulgate rugged truths, God seems compelled to pick up jaw bones that lack polish, because He cannot get hold of those who have wealth, ability and refinement.
Please overlook the idiosyncrasies and believe that our only object has been -- the Glory of God, the exposure of shams and the deepening of the people of God. Yours for a dean, rather than a Big work.
