TO MY PUPILS, WHO ARE DEACONESSES OF THE

SUCCORERS OF MANY.
EDITOR'S NOTES: This book is not a book of essays or sermons, like so many of Steele's other books. It is actually a commentary on the Epistles of John. I corrected numerous printing errors in this book. I also updated some of the spelling. The Bible text used in this online edition is the Revised Version of 1880 — the text preferred by Dr. Steele. I have included the text right before the appropriate comments.
The book also contains some additional essays at the end — including an especially interesting one on the atonement.
