This booklet was originally published in 1878 to counteract the errors of the Sankey and Moody Revival. Mr Popham himself gave these reasons: “I have been induced to publish the following for two reasons. First because regeneration is the root of all true religion – natural religion with all its attractions, erroneous preaching with all its eloquence, with all its power, can never give life to a dead soul. My second reason, is that among the blind followers, of perhaps, still more blind leaders, there may be some of the ‘blind people who have eyes.’ (Isa. 43.8)… To them I would be useful”.
