Ο Foreword N the decision to publish these lectures in book form, the lecturer asked a committee of well-known Disciples of Christ, representing the East, Middle West and Southwest of the United States, to pass on the correctness of the interpretation of the message, origin and history of the Disciples herein given in order that it may not rest upon the bare words of the lecturer. This committee consisted of F. D. Kershner, president Texas Christian University, Fort Worth, Texas; F. W. Burnham, minister First Christian Church, Springfield, Ill., and E. B. Bagby, minister Twenty-Fifth Street Christian Church, Baltimore, Md., and they are of one accord in their approval. It only remains for the lecturer to acknowledge his indebtedness to these gentlemen for their courtesy and many valuable suggestions. Baltimore, Md. PETER AINSLIE. |
