Sermons on the Christian Life (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Sermons on the Christian Life

The following sermons were written and preached when the author was a Pastor. They are not dis eussions of doctrine; they are sermons on various aspects and elements of human life. These are treated in their relations to Christianity. But the doctrines of Christianity, though not expounded, are implied. They underlie and support each discourse.

As the sermons were prepared, not for publication, but for delivery before the writer's congregation, their style and language often approach those of familiar conversation. In addressing his parishioners, a preacher feels that he is at liberty to indulge in abrupt turns of speech, in sentences rhetorically in complete and in repetitions, which, in an essay, would be out of place. The form of the sermon is deter mined by the relations of the preacher to his audience, quite as much as it is by his theme.
