Excerpt from Simple Sermons on Simple Subjects

The nature of the book is such as to need very little preface. I may briefly state that the sermons contained herein are but simple utterances on simple, old-fashioned subjects. They were delivered during the past winter in St. Philip's Church, Toronto, and are now placed in this more permanent form at the request of many of the members and friends of that congregation. I commit them to the press with much diffidence. I am well aware that a style which is at all effective in the pulpit will rarely retain its power when transferred to the pages of a book. And when I remember that volumes of sermons are seldom read, even in these days of reading, I can hardly hope that mine will meet with any better success.
