The sense of joy and gratitude I feel in the completion of this task is beyond all words. It was begun more than three years ago during the lifetime of the great author him self. Space forbids the presentation here of the details leading up to this undertaking. Suffice it to say that on October 30, 1913, I entered into a contract with Dr. B. H. Carroll for the publication Of these books. At that time his health was failing and he was aware that he was near ing the end of his days. In the interview in which the con tract for the publication of this Interpretation was made, Dr. Carroll expressed the wish that I should secure the assistance In this task of Rev. J. W. Crowder, then assistant to Dr. Carroll in the department of the English Bible in the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and who has Since been elected to the full professorship to succeed his great predecessor. Not only did Dr. Carroll express this wish while living, but he did more - he inserted in his will (in which his manuscripts were all devised to his wife and to me), a provision that Professor Crowder should revrse all of these manuscripts before they were placed in my hands for final editing and for publication.
