PREFACE.

THE following Sermons are offered to the public, in the hope that to those who have known the Author, they may present some lasting memorial of one so recently gone home from among us. To those to whom the name of the Author even is unknown, the publication of simple Gospel truth, in a form such as this, will, it is hoped, need no apology.

If by this means one ray of light is brought to any man, or one spark of comfort is kindled in the blackness of the wilderness of work, which this world (without Christ) must for ever seem to be, the object of the Editors will be fully satisfied.
