Preface

A word of explanation is necessary regarding the presentation of some of Dr. R. A. Torrey’s Bible tracts. Quite recently, we had a spring cleaning at the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, and in some of the cupboards we came across hundreds of plates, which were used by the printing press the Institute possessed in Dr. Torrey’s time.

Finding a few of Dr. Torrey’s tracts, which the Institute issued during this famous teacher’s association with it, we thought that it would be a good thing to reproduce them for another generation of Bible lovers.

The difference in style is accounted for by the fact that we have used the original plates, making possible thereby a cheaper book.

The added appreciation of Dr. Torrey’s life and work by Dr. Herbert Lockyer will, I feel sure, prepare the reader for the Tracts of Dr. Torrey.

May God continue to bless the work of one of America’s greatest Bible teachers! ‘He being dead yet speaketh.”

Louis T. Talbot.
