The principles set forth in this tract, written in 1908, are scriptural truths as unchangeable as God Himself. The need for bringing them to fresh remembrance is clearly realized in these days of declension and apathy. It is also believed that any who desire to know what would please the Lord Jesus as to their assembly fellowship will be greatly enlightened by the truths so ably presented. Our sincere prayer is that the republication of this tract may be for the honor and glory of the Son of God, the Head of the Church, which is His Body. And with the words of another who formerly published this tract we heartily concur: “May God graciously bless this ministry to His own, and grant to those who waver or who have been misled by the enemy into popular and unscriptural associations, the faith that would step out boldly ‘unto Him, without the camp, bearing His reproach’ (Heb.13:13).”

Believers Bookshelf is pleased to publish this edited 2015 edition of the tract for a new generation of believers. There is a word often used in earlier editions that we will not use in this edition because it is now, in the minds of many Christians, restricted to a group known for their legality. Legality is a term, not restricted to being ultra-conservative, but of maintaining and insisting on certain doctrines and practices not found in Scripture; thus man-made. We also arbitrarily will use some 21st century words to replace the old-English in some of the verses, for example, changing “believeth” to “believe” and “hath” to “has.” We have added some explanatory footnotes. We too commend this tract to you.
