Preface

THIS volume is published for the comfort of the bereaved. Everywhere they may be seen in mourning, sorrowing for their loved dead. As they long to hear and know all they can "concerning those who have fallen asleep," these sermons are specially adapted to, and designed for, them.

The sermons, as treating the same general topics — Death, the Resurrection, the Future State — are unavoidably alike. Moreover, they were prepared at different times, without regard in the prepamton of one sermon to the contents of the others, and with no design of publication together — these facts also account for their similarity. Trusting that they may do good, despite their defects, they are published. If bereaved hearts, "sorrowing in hope," are comforted by them, the author's object will be accomplished, and his labor rewarded.
