Excerpt from The Gospel at Work in Modern Life

The social influence of Christianity is being recognized to-day in a manner and to a degree that would surprise Christian workers of a generation ago. In keeping with this tendency, the Baptist Young Peoples Union of America has arranged its courses of study to provide for the needs of young people in the direction of this new emphasis of Christian thought. The purpose of this book is to serve as studies in the Sacred Literature Course in young peoples societies. The subject has been chosen because of its practical character, and the relation of its parts to individual life.

It is a matter of gratification to the Committee to be able to offer to young peoples societies the course of studies in this book, at the same time so practical, so timely, and so deeply interesting. The author, who has given much of his life to a consideration of the questions discussed and has won for himself a reputation for thoroughness and candor, has herein given some of his best thoughts in a most pleasing style.

The course has been shortened in respect to the number of lessons, so that it now consists of twelve instead of twenty or twenty-five as in former years.
