GoooPASTURE Printed i11 tl,e United Stales DEDICATION To that host of students whom Brother Boles affection ately spoke of as "My Boys," this volume is respectfull y inscribed. PREFACE It has now been more than three years since the lamented H. Leo Boles, like David, "fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers." During these intervening years, there has been a growing demand for the publication of a volume of his Sermon Outlines. This volume is, at least, a partial answer to the demand. The Outlines appear here as Brother Boles left them, ex cept where it was necessary to add something in order to make a contracted statement clear. This book is a selection of Outlin ~s most frequently used by Brother Boles. It is the hope of the Editor that this book may give a new stimulus to preaching the gospel plainly , humbly and with out fear or favor . B. C. GOODPASTURE August I l, 1949.
