The Canadian Methodist pulpit

Preface

$ HE publication of this volume has met the approval of the best men of our Church, as will be seen by the names of the contributors. To secure the number of sermons necessaryhas been no small task, as most of the ministers of the great Methodist Church do not write, nor preserve their sermons, Having, however, succeeded thus far, and believing that such a volume will be a valuable accession to any Christian library, I have been induced to proceed with the work.

The sermons are of a high order, and while they contain the peculiar views of the Methodists, they breathe the spirit of charity toward all ; and the work might not be out of place in any Christian household.

To our own people, for Sabbath and leisure-hour reading, its value cannot be over-estimated. With conn dence that it will do good, we send it forth upon the great ocean of religious literature, and, that God may direct it whither-soever He will, is the prayer of

THE EDITOR.
