Foreword

     These daily readings have been selected from various sources, chiefly from lectures given at the Bible Training College, Clapham, during the years 1911-1915; then, from October 1915 to November 1917, from talks given night by night in the Y.M.C.A. Huts, Zeitoun, Egypt. In November 1917 my husband entered into God's presence. Since then many of the talks have been published in book form, and others from which these readings have been gathered will also be published in due course.
     A large proportion of the readings have been chosen from the talks given during the Devotional Hour at the College - an hour which for many of the students marked an epoch in their life with God.
"Men return again and again to the few who have mastered the spiritual secret, whose life has been hid with Christ in God. These are of the old time religion, hung to the nails of the Cross."
(Robert Murray McCheyne)
It is because it is felt that the author is one to whose teaching, men will return, that this book has been prepared, and it is sent out with the prayer that day by day the message may continue to bring the quickening life and inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
