Preface

It will be observed that several of the following discourses are of a local character. It is hoped that they will be none the less instructive and interesting on that account.

Notice has been given to some of my friends, that the volume would contain fourteen sermons and two addresses. An additional sermon, which, 1 trusted*, would be more acceptable, supplies the place of the other address.

I have endeavored to express myself plainly and earnestly, that what I said might be easily understood and felt.

This little volume is published with the desire to promote the cause of truth and piety, and with the prayer that it may be accepted and blessed by the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

To my many friends who have encouraged me in former efforts, and also in this — I make my grateful acknowledgements, and send my cordial and christian salutations.
