RELIGIOUS PROGRESS.

Preface

The following Lectures were originally prepared for the pulpit, and delivered to the peopie of his charge by the author. In a time, when the eyes of the nations are so generally strained towards the undefined and glowing horizon of the Future, and when the cry of " Progress" has awakened alike so much .of solicitude and of hope, it seemed not unfitting that a Christian pastor should call his hearers to consider the elements and the laws of that higher moral progress stretching into eternity, of which the gospel of Christ witnesses, and for which the grace of God alone qualifies us. It was the belief of some of his hearers, that the reflections thus presented might find readers. To the favor of that God whose blessing alone can give these imperfect sketches acceptance oriisemlness, they are commended.
