ALL SAINTS' DAY AND OTHER SERMONS

PREFATORY NOTE {1}

The following Sermons could not be arranged according to any proper
sequence. Those, however, which refer to doctrine and the Church Seasons
will mostly be found at the beginning of the volume, whilst those which
deal with practical subjects are placed at the close.

A few of the Sermons have already appeared in "Good Words;" but by far

The original MSS. have been adhered to as closely as possible.

welcome the publication of these earnest words, and find them helpful in
the Christian life.

"Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith
the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do
follow them."

Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
And all th
