The matter contained in this booklet has been largely delivered in some ad- dresses from the Chapel platform of Asbury College. Some of this matter has been used in several sermons at camp meetings and other religious gatherings. A good many friends, as well as myself, feel that the contents of this booklet may be of special value at this time.

I grieve over the loss of any man's I believe those men, college professors, preachers, students and all men and women who are departing from the faith, who are speaking lightly of the written Word of God, and the Son of God, have gone into a fearful apostasy. I have no faith in the faith of those whose faith does not embrace the Lord Jesus as God manifest in the flesh and dying on the Cross for the free and full redemption of all those who come to God by Him. Let those who read the contents of this booklet pass it on to others. If the blessing of God may attend it and it may be used to prevent the apostasy of some precious soul, I shall be thankful.

Author Biography

Noted evangelist and founder of Asbury Theological Seminary, Henry Clay Morrison (1857-1942) was a Kentucky-born preacher, ordained in the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, who served churches from 1878 to 1882. Feeling the call to evangelize with a dynamic message of conversion, entire sanctification and holiness of life, Morrison left the pastorate to focus on evangelism, even to the point of conflict with his own denomination. His evangelistic work was a lifetime endeavor, but reached a high-water mark with a year-long evangelistic tour around the world from 1909-1910. Upon completing his world evangelistic tour, Morrison became the president of Asbury College from 1910 to 1925. At that time, he founded Asbury Theological Seminary to foster the development of preachers committed to holiness and evangelism. From 1925 until his death in 1942, Morrison served as president of Asbury Theological Seminary. He even resumed the mantle of president of Asbury College again from 1933 until he retired in 1940. Henry Clay Morrison was also committed to proclaiming the Gospel through the written word, founding The Old Methodist newspaper (ultimately to become The Pentecostal Herald), which he edited for thirty-five years. Morrison wrote twenty-five books and published many more through the Pentecostal Publishing House, another of his many projects. The assets of this press were left to Asbury Theological Seminary in Morrison's will, and First Fruits is now proud to begin releasing these rare materials once again as part of our holiness heritage for a new generation.
