Some reader may have wondered why the more spiritual qualifications that are so

truly necessary to a right understanding of Scripture have not been brought forward.

These do not come under the heading of `rules' that guide the workman in the use of his

`tools'. They are too serious, too vital, too far removed from the purpose of this series to

introduce them here. They have not been forgotten, and may form a separate series by

themselves at some future date. Meanwhile we commend this present series to the

prayerful consideration of all true workmen, who would be unashamed of their work `in

that day'.
