Twice-Born Men in America
OR
The Psychology of Conversion as Seen by a Christian Psychologist in Rescue Mission Work
PREFACE
I taught psychology for fifteen years at the AtchisonInstitute, the predecessor of Midland College, located atAtchison, Kan. I was there greatly impressed by thefact that the books gave no adequate analysis of thepsychology of the greatest mental and moral changewhich can come to the human mind, namely, conversionand regeneration; yet these changes make the great differencewhich we see between men and nations.
A Rescue Mission gives a great opportunity to studymental and moral changes, and my observations and conclusions,made from years of study, are herein embodied.
This book is sent forth with the earnest hope andprayer that it will lead many souls to Christ; also that itwill show earnest laymen just how to bring about thatpsychological change which we call conversion. A Sundayschool teacher who brings only ninety per cent ofher students through the process of conversion and regenerationis ninety per cent a success and ten per centfailure. The same is true of a pastor with a class of catechumens.
“Ye must be born again,” is just as true to-day as itever was, and if we believed it as Paul believed it,what live wires we would be.
This book is to remind us that Jesus saves to the uttermostin our day, just as He did when He visibly walkedthis earth.
