PREFACE The wise man said: "Of making many books there is no end." We wonder what he would say in these days if he were living. Still they multi-ply, and we have ventured to throw out another into the stream of time. Where there is a great need it is right to look for u supply. While many authors are writing valuable books on this great and important question of holiness, we know of no work that takes up the subject of these wrested Scriptures used by many in opposing this second work of grace. We trust that this little work may fill a place in this great field of full salvation. All over the land objections are being raised against the possibility of living a sanctified life, and the Word of God is being sadly perverted to substantiate these errors. In this work we hope to accomplish three things: 1, to help those who resort to these texts, wresting them to "their own destruction;" we hope to clear away the fog that seems to hang around them, and by so doing to lead them into the true light; 2, to enable those who are in the .sanctified life to see the Word clearly on these texts, and thus be saved from an overthrow of their faith; 3, and also to enable the sanctified ones to be a blessing to those who are in error. Trusting that the Holy Spirit may bless the work on its mission of light, we send it forth into the world, asking all who may read it to pass it along and pray God to bless the good and overrule all mistakes.
