PREFACE.

THE subject of these Sermons seemed to us

to follow in a natural sequence that of the

former year. It is undoubtedly one of the deepest moment: one, too, well qualified to arouse in every soul a sense of the awfulness of possessing such gifts as God has bestowed upon us and not using them to His glory. May He of His mercy speak this lesson home to our souls.
