Excerpt from The Preacher's Vade-Mecum: Sketches of Addresses and Instructions on Various Subjects for Different Parochial OccasionsThe sketches in this little book follow very much on the lines of his Simple Church Teaching and Simple Mission Teaching, ' previously published, which have been found useful in some quarters for the same pur pose.The idea throughout is to present to the mind, in as few words as possible, some leading thoughts which may, without difficulty, be expanded into addresses of the length required for the occasion.An endeavour has been made to meet the require ments most frequent in ordinary parishes worked on sound Church principles. If those who make use of this little book will be kind enough to make suggestions, the writer will be glad to give them due consideration in another series. He trusts that his present endeavours will not be unacceptable nor unfruitful in the field of the Church of God.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
