Author's Note

Several years ago I published in England a little book with the title, “Royal and Loyal,” consisting of addresses and Bible readings given in various places. As this book is now out of print, the addresses are here reproduced, together with two additional ones (forming chapters I and II).

The one theme running through the book is the Christian life, with its twofold attitude toward God and toward man, involving both the Lordship of Christ and the loyalty of Christians. “To this end Christ both died and lived again that He might be Lord” (Rom. 14:9); “Ye call Me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am” (John 13:13); “Why call ye Me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say.’*” (Luke 6:46).

That these chapters in their new form may help every reader to experience and enjoy all that God has provided and intends for us in Christ, is the writer’s prayer.
