And lastly, the lessons seek to show how these same leaders translated the teaching of Jesus, whether given in parable, paradox or precept, into the spirituality and earnest obedience of their own personal life, a spirituality which found its natural outcome in the active missionary labour of a St. Peter and a St. Paul abroad, and the no less active though quieter service of a Lydia and a Dorcas at home. The book is intended primarily for the use of the teacher, but secondarily for the use of the pupil also, and has been divided into sections so that facts can be the more easily underlined and paragraphs studied.
