Introduction

These studies of the Cross of Christ were given as daily messages at the Summer Conference of the Victorious Life Testimony held in July, 1922, at Stony Brook, Long Island, New York. In reporting that conference The Sunday School Times said: “At nine o’clock that first Lord’s Day morning the Rev. Gordon Watt, of Scotland, gave the first of his unforgettable series of studies of the Cross of Christ. Each morning of the eight days, and again at the closing service, Mr. Watt brought from the Word of God treasures new and old on the Cross. If one wonders how it were possible to give nine extended addresses to the same audience of Christians and always on the single theme of the Cross, one has yet to gain new blessings from the great central theme of the entire Bible.”
