Salvation Papers

This volume, "Salvation Papers," is in tended to present a full-length portrait of salvation as a conscious experience from its inception in pardon to its consummation in glory. It seeks to honor especially the agency of the Holy Ghost in the work of personal salvation. It gives emphasis to the second stage in the progress of saving grace; namely, full salvation. The Wesleyan designation being the second blessing. Andrew Murray and other modern writers call it the "second crisis," The author herein denominates it perfect salvation, inasmuch as it is the consummation of the work of saving grace in the soul, delivering it from sin as an interior principle, imparting to it the full mind of Christ, and making it meet for the inheritance of the saints in light. We have sought, as far as possible, not to cast the subject in a merely theoretical and doctrinal mold: First, in order to avoid a dogmatical and controversial air; second, to give a purely experimental and practical treatise on the subject. Hence the volume abounds in statement, rather than argument; in illustration, rather than definition. Our design has been to help those in whom a good work of the Spirit is begun, that he may perfect it in them. We would, by this unpretentious exposition, lead many Apolloses into the more perfect way of complete salvation. In this hope we commit this to its mission, trusting that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit may give it their triune benediction.
