In April, 1899, the first edition of the author’s work appeared. The subject matter was virtually the substance of addresses delivered before theology classes of the Church University and at other schools; and each of the main divisions of the book was designated as a “Lecture.” In the present issue the corresponding caption is “Chapter.” This, the Twelfth Edition (1924), presents the subject in a rearranged, enlarged and revised form, in part rewritten.” (The Preface)
