Excerpt from Sermons, Chiefly on Particular Occasions 3. I trust I may add, in the third place, my brethren, that the age which has past has also im proved in virtue. However much we may still have to regret the weakness or the vices of our na ture, it were unjust and uncandid not to acknow ledge, that, in comparison with the ages that pre ceded it, the last age has added eminently to social happiness. Many of the barbarities of ancient manners have been softened; many of the prej udi ces which divided men from each other have been dissolved. Learning and knowledge have found their way to every rank of mankind and. While they have given new dignity and happiness to the higher conditions of society, they have, at the same time, improved the conduct, while they have ele.

Excerpt from Theology and Life: Sermons Chiefly on Special Occasions Of the work which the servants of God have been called to do in the great cities of the world. To Jonah, the son of Amittai, the word of the Lord came, saying, Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it for their wickedness is come up before me.'2 He shrank, as he might well do (sinful as the shrinking was), from en countering that wickedness, from facing in its living horrors all that dread ferocity and brutal lust which seem even now to glare upon us from the sculptured stone. He shrank from uttering the threat. Yet more did he shrink from the thought that the God of his fathers had any care for such.

Excerpt from The Gospel and the Age: Sermons on Special Occasions The sermons contained in this volume were preached, as their title states, on special occasions. They were selected for publication not as possessing, for that reason, any special merit, but because they were the only ones the publication of which was possible for their author. The preacher of what are called extempore sermons - that is to say, sermons not read from manuscript, but delivered from brief notes - cannot reproduce them in print unless they happen to have been taken down at the time by a reporter. Such reports can hardly ever be verbatim, and are for the most part more' or less imperfect and inaccurate. The process of revising them and of supplying their omissions, with a view to publica tion, is not an easy one, even when attempted after the lapse of a few days - still less so after that of years; and its results are rarely quite satisfactoryeither to the author or the reader. A sermon thus patched and mended has neither the freshness and point of the extempore nor the smoothness and sustained thought of the written composition. It is neither a religious speech, which the extempore sermon ought to be - nor a religious essay, which the written sermon ought to be; and it runs the risk of uniting the defects of both styles with the merits of neither. Such as it is, however, this method was the only one available for me, when, in compli ance with many and repeated requests, I employed the enforced leisure of a long convalescence in pre paring for the press those few sermons of mine which have been reported with sufficient accuracy to allow of the attempt to reproduce them in somewhat better form.
