Preface
ABBATHS abroad are true Rest Days to Christian travelers. They are full of pleasant memories. One may count it as a unique experience to have preached in such widely separated localities, and this book is to me a precious memorial of those occasions and of the dear friends who were with me, several of whom are now enjoying the Rest Days of Heaven. "While repeating to my congregation the sermons preached during my first tour, prefacing them with the circumstances under which they were spoken, it was suggested that they be published. To give something more of size to the volume, as well as interest, the preliminary notes have been included ; and then, to add still more of matter and variety, the fancy took me to append to the discourses original hymns or verses, bearing on the same subjects, and to insert also some illustrations of places or objects at or near where the sermons were delivered. Great delay in bringing out the book, for lack of leisure for it, has allowed me to add three sermons preached during subsequent tours to Europe. The work is a sort of appendix to my "Holy Land, with Glimpses of Egypt and Europe," which was so favorably received as to reach a ninth edition.
