Graham Scroggie (1877-1954?) : The Unusual Keswick Speaker We Have Added This Book To The Previous Four Volumes In The They Knew Their God Series, Hoping By Our Research To Provide The Present Generation With A Knowledge Of Our Tremendous Heritage Of Saints Past And Present. Our Situation Today Is Much Like That Which Existed In The Time Of The Judges: “And There Arose Another Generation After Them, Which Knew Not The Lord, Nor Yet The Works Which He Had Done For Israel” (Judges 2:10). Such Ignorance In Those Days Issued In God’S People Doing Evil And Turning To False Religions. Prayer Has Accompanied Our Search For Little-Known Giants Of Faith—People Who Did Exploits Because “They Knew Their God.” Such Devotion As We Read About Shames Our Shallowness And Our Failure To Make A Vacuum For God In The Busy Materialistic Scramble For Higher Living Standards. We Have Expensive Homes And Luxury Cars But Know Little Of The Vast Riches And Resources Available To One Who Takes Time To Know And Understand. Our Ideals Are So Low, And Our Zeal So Lukewarm, And Our Stocks Of Grace So Pitifully Small That We Need To Remember Great Saints Who All Remind Us, We Too Can Make Our Lives Sublime, And Departing Leave Behind Us, Footprints In The Sands Of Time, As Longfellow Wrote: Footprints That Perhaps Another Sailing O’Er Life’S Solemn Mane, Some Forlorn And Shipwrecked Brother Reading May Take Heart Again. My Prayer Is That You May Be Lifted To Higher Ideals And Enjoy The Exceeding Greatness Of His Power. Lillian G. Harvey, 1998.
