Excerpt from The Dead and the Living: And Other Sermons The sermons contained in this volume are selected from those which I have preached on different occasions in the course of the last two years. They are here reproduced in almost exactly the same form in which they were originally delivered. The title of the book is an abbreviation of the title of the first sermon on The Present Relationship between the Dead and the Living. This sermon was originally printed in the Church Times, and was afterwards issued privately as a pamphlet. As the private edition has long since been exhausted, while the demand for the sermon continues, I have decided to republish it, and have given it the place of honour in the present collection. In the other discourses I have dealt with various truths and principles which, while they are of permanent interest and importance, seem to me to stand in need of special exposition and emphasis at the present time. I may add that, in making a selection of my sermons, I have endeavoured to choose such as may be stimulating to thought and also practically helpful. The volume is published at the request of many of my former parishioners and other friends, to whom, in grateful remembrance of many kindnesses and as a token of sincere regard, I dedicate it.
