Excerpt from The Way of Understanding: And Other Studies in the Book of Proverbs
The sermons composing this volume were preached on successive Sunday mornings to a city congregation in the industrial North of England. They are now printed practically as they were delivered, with few except verbal alterations, no attempt having been made to change their original form; it was felt in every way better to retain the direct mode of address, and even to leave an occasional colloquial phrase unreplaced by its more literary equivalent. References to such events of the day as the loss of the Titanic, the war in the Balkans, etc have likewise been allowed to stand and these, while disclosing the date of the book as surely as the year given on the title-page, will not, it is hoped, be found disturbing by readers.
The author's aim has been to te-emphasise and illustrate some of the truths for daily living gathered in the Book of Proverbs, in their application to the life of to-day, and in the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ; if he be found to have succeeded in his te-setting of these ancient gems of wisdom, which have lost none of their lustre in the flight of the centuries he will feel justified in offering this sheaf of practical addresses to a wider audience.
