Out of print Tentmaker edition.

This volume of sermons takes the teaching of our Lord and applies it with power and relevance to the evils of an industrial society. The sermons reveal much of Dale's concern for his congregation, labouring as they did in the offices and factories of the city.

Different times and denominational backgrounds produce different styles of preaching and readers will, I believe, find much that is refreshing in Dale's approach to the teaching of Jesus. The challenge a preacher faces is to take the unchanging Word and apply it forcefuly to the need of the hour. It was a contemporary of Dale, C.H.Spurgeon, who complained of a preacher who was, "great upon the ten toes of the beast, the four faces of the cherubim, the mystical meaning of the badgers' skins, and the typical bearings of the staves of the ark, and the windows of Solomon's temple: but the sins of business men, the temptations of the times, and the needs of the age, he scarcely ever touches upon." This could never be said of Dale. The challenges facing Dale's first hearers remain with us today and in addressing these Dale wields the sword of the Spirit with consummate skill.
