This work is not written for sceptics, yet while preparing to write for the benefit of others than sceptics, the author's heart has gone out toward that large class of his fellow-men, who are skeptical, who from different causes, have been led to doubt or deny the Bible's being a revelation from God, and he has yearned to say something that would at least arouse the attention of this class sufficiently to cause them to give an earnest investigation, or re-investigation, to the question. The bare possibilities that there is a Hell and a Heaven, that the soul can never cease to exist, and that Jesus is the real Saviour, are enough to cause every doubting one, to give the most earnest consideration to any evidence bearing on these questions, and to undertake the most careful investigation of anything that promises to lead to certainty.
