Dr. D. Shelby Corlett, through his efficient editorship of the Herald of Holiness, is one of the best known and most appreciated ministers in the Church of the Nazarene. He needs therefore, personally, no further introduction. But a word of commendation is due Dr. Corlett for his decision to print his lectures on The Meaning Of Holiness, which he now presents to the general public. In selecting Dr. Corlett as the lecturer on the Nease Foundation for 1942, the authorities of Pasadena College had in mind his comprehensive grasp of this subject, his power of sustaining interest, and most important, the conviction that with Dr. Corlett, the question of holiness is not alone one of scholastic interest, but a rich experience in his own heart and life. We doubt not that those in authority at Olivet College selected him as the Leist Lecturer on the same or similar grounds. The lectures justified our every expectation. The truth was presented in a systematic and scholarly manner, and was well received both as to its form and intention. Of the latter we may speak especially, for the purpose of the lecturer was not only to bring this great truth within the intellectual grasp of his student audience, but to make it effective as a spiritual influence in their individual lives. This was abundantly accomplished. Students received new light, and with it a conviction of the importance of walking in this light in order to maintain the high standards set for them in the lectures. We are happy, therefore, to learn that these lectures are to be given wider circulation. The truth contained in them is comprehensive--The Holiness of God; Holiness in Man; Holiness, the Provision of Redemption; Holiness in Personal Experience; The Life of Holiness; and Some Broader Implications of Holiness; yet these subjects are condensed in a manner which retains all of their essential elements, and so presented as to grip both mind and heart. We bespeak for them a wide reading; and we earnestly pray that they may receive the same ready response, and produce the same joyous effects, as were accomplished in the colleges.
