ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
First,
the writer is especially indebted to Mr. Philip E. Howard, Jr., Editor
of the Sunday School Times, who first proposed the writing
of a series of articles for that valued paper on "The Cross in the Life
of the Believer." This request was taken by the author as a call from God
to prepare in book form the teachings herein set forth. Mr. Howard
had granted very gracious permission that the chapters which appeared in
the Sunday School Times be reprinted in this manner.
The writer acknowledges the
great kindness of various authors and publishers, who have granted permission
to use extracts from their copyrighted publications. Among these
are the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, for selections from
the books of Miss Amy Carmichael; Christian Publications, Inc, for selections
from The Way of the Cross, by J. Gregory Mantle (now out
of print); Zondervan Publishing House and Marshall, Morgan and Scott, Ltd.,
for excerpts from the writings of F. J. Huegel, Dr. Ernest Gordon, and
Dr. Samuel Zwemer; the Moody Press for selections from The Two-Fold
Life by Dr. A. J. Gordon (now out of print) -- a selection from Romansby
Wm. R. Newell; the China Inland Mission for a selection from The
Growth of a Soul; Harper Brothers for a selection from The
Progress of World Wide Missions by Dr. R. H. Glover. We are also
deeply indebted for brief quotations from the writings of various great
saints such as Madame Guyon, Gerhard Ter Steegen, Charles Simeon, William
Law, Andrew Murray, Bishop Moule, Mrs. Penn-Lewis, Oswald Chambers, and
others. So familiar have we become with the writings of some of the
leaders in the deeper truths of the Spirit that we find ourselves quoting
them verbatim. Indulgence is begged, therefore, if there has been
any failure of proper acknowledgment, or if we have failed to reach the
author or holder of copyrighted selections.
