The above suggestion is merely a skeleton. Let individual study clothe the bones with
flesh, and may the Spirit of truth inspire the lifeless preparation with power.
[NOTE.--The Prison Epistles do not preach a gospel to the unsaved, their message being rather
addressed to the believer. The doctrinal portions of Romans supply the basis upon which the
teaching of the mystery is built.]
Rom. 5: 5
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the
Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
4:
6. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth
righteousness without works,
7. Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

To speak of the future apart from the Lord, with dangers not only invisible and
spiritual but physical and evident, is manifestly foolish. However, if the Lord will, we
hope that the witness of The Berean Expositor will be continued monthly and rendered
increasingly useful to readers and glorifying to the Lord.
We are thankful to feel that none will ever become subscribers, or constant readers,
who do not believe and love the Word of God. We desire to recognize the fact more
definitely than we have done hitherto, that our readers are not all of the same degree of
advancement, or capacity. For those who are young in the faith, and who desire to
understand the rightly-divided Word, we hope to give a series dealing with The
Fundamentals of Dispensational Truth. In these articles we shall traverse much that has
already been put forward in these pages, but we shall limit each article, as far as possible,
to one subject or phase of truth, so that the veriest beginner shall not stumble.
Incidentally, more advanced readers may be refreshed and stimulated at reading "things
old," and may find help in laying the subject before others.
For those readers who are prepared to go further into the deeper things of the Word,
we have in hand a series devoted to The Things that Differ. In these articles subjects will
be discussed about which none of us may feel justified in making a final statement, yet
which are floating about in our minds, dimly colouring our interpretations and exercising
over us an unconscious influence. We want to bring them to the light, and examine them
by the teaching of the Word. The expository articles on Ephesians, Revelation, and the
Parables we hope to continue, and as occasion offers to resume the little talks about the
archaeological treasures in the British Museum. Much as we have desired to give more
attention to Answers to Correspondents, limitations of space and lack of time have
prevented its accomplishment.
