<h1><i>What Peace Means</i></h1>

<h2>FOREWORD</h2>
<p>This little book contains
three plain sermons which
were preached in New
York in the Easter season
of 1919, in the Park Avenue
Presbyterian Church, of which my
son is minister. I had no thought that
they would ever be printed. They were,
and are, just <i>daily bread discourses</i> meant to
serve the spiritual needs of a congregation
of Christian people, seekers after
truth, inquirers about duty, strangers and
pilgrims, in the great city and the troubled
world.</p>
<p>But if, as friends think, these simple
chapters may be of service through the
printed page to a larger circle of readers,
I willingly and freely let them go.</p>
<p>May the blessing of Jesus follow them
on their humble path. May the Spirit of
Truth bring them home to some hearts
that want them,—to those who desire to
escape from evil and do good,—to those
who "seek peace and ensue it."</p>
