Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
On stated days your expectation looks to me for teaching. To
perform such duty is to every minister of Christ the joy of joys.
Beyond all doubt the pulpit stands the highest post of man to
appear as ambassador of the King of kings, and to proclaim the way
of life, is a privilege which angels might ambitiously desire. I
strongly feel this--no words can tell my estimate of this grand
work. This hallowed exercise requires vigor, and energy, and
strength--in its discharge every faculty should put forth power.
But when the weight of many years depresses, these qualities must
cease to bloom--decay will follow in the footsteps of declining
life. It is now mine to feel this common lot of old age, and hence
I seek some substitute for public service in so large a church. To
supply then this absence of oral address I venture to present this
volume to you. Thus the pen strives to take the place of voice.
Instead of looking on you congregated around me, I seek to sit
beside you in your homes. At fixed times your attendance may be
reluctant, and your thoughts may stray; I thus come when leisure
gives me welcome. Without intrusion I solicit some vacant moments.
You shall not complain of wearying lengthiness; your averted look
is my dismissal. But while you read, I have a willing flock--and
while you read with prayer, I teach to profit.
