Excerpt from Student Standards of Action This text is planned for the use of students in colleges, universities and normal schools, both for personal study and in voluntary discussional classes. Each chapter is divided into three sections: Daily Readings, Study for the Week, and Suggestions for Thought and Discussion. In the Daily Readings an introductory paragraph states the problem for the week, and this is followed by a brief presentation of seven phases of the problem, one for each day, with personal questions and appropriate Bible passages. They are intended as the basis for daily thoughtful Bible reading and prayer, usually known as the Morning Watch. The Study for the Week summarizes the week's problem, discusses the Bible passages in an attempt to determine Jesus' principles, and raises the application of these principles to the pertinent student problems. The Suggestions for Thought and Discussion give a series of thought-provoking questions as a review of the week's chapter. It is hoped they will be suggestive both for personal meditation and for class discussion. Twelve outstanding student questions from the viewpoint of Jesus' standards of action are considered in this book. No chronological study of the facts of His life, or detailed analysis of His character, has been attempted. The issues in each one of these questions are frankly considered. On the other hand, the text is more than a book of ethics. It looks directly to the life and words of Jesus for the solution of these student problems. Care has been taken to avoid the proof-text method and the warping of any particular passage to fit a particular purpose. A reverent attempt has been made to discover in the life of Jesus those great, underlying principles that are pertinent to these particular problems.
