First Edition PRINTED IN THE U. S. A. To Mr. and Mrs. Egbert Wheeler Mersereau of San Jose, California who were among the first to esteem the Broad Brim Books and who have remained the first in all the years to encourage the writing of them, and To Henry Allan Ironside whose words of commendation as A Prince in Israel and Man of Letters have filled me with a desire for excellence in this business of writing The Interpreters House Before mounting for thy journey, pause at the Inter preters House so that thou mayest understand. John of Bedford The secret of Brainerds exploits has been missed by his impulsive Boswells. For nearly two hundred years they have chanted, It was his importunate prayer life. Not so The hiding of his power was, to borrow an excellent Puritan phrase, the mysterious constraint of Love Divine. James M. Sherwood, in his Memoirs of Revd. David Brainerd, 1891, stated with discernment Brainerds deep sense of personal unworthiness, entire dependence on Divine Grace, caused him to strive after personal holiness and holy service with an intensity that seems superhuman. Thus Brainerds hours in prayer were a result only just as were his striving after holiness and devotion to holy service. The cause was the mysterious constraint of LoveDivine For the love of Christ constraineth us, that we should not henceforth live unto ourselves, but unto Him which died for us and rose again.
