     It is, of course, impossible to work over and refine such a series of lessons thoroughly enough to eliminate all the mistakes either in material or form. These lessons have been taught both by the author and others and many errors eliminated by their use. As they are used further other mistakes will be discovered. Teachers using these outlines are asked to watch for errors and call them to the attention of the publishers that they may be avoided in succeeding issues.

     It is with the earnest hope and fervent prayer that they many help in the spreading "through the Church of the manifold wisdom of God" (Eph. 3:10) that these lessons and outlines on "The New Testament Church" are introduced.
