Excerpt from Advent in St. Paul's, Vol. 1 of 2: Sermons Bearing Chiefly on the Two Comings of Our Lord When, three years ago, the author published some sermons preached in St. Paul's during the Easter Season, it was suggested that something of the same kind might be attempted for other portions of the Christian year. The present publication, accordingly, is devoted to the two great truths which the Church of Christ proposes for our consideration during Advent; our Lord's First Coming among men as the Son of a virgin-mother, and His Second Coming in the clouds of heaven to judge the living and the dead. A. Third volume should follow, consecrated to the festival of Christmas and to the close of the civil year. In these two volumes there has been no attempt to arrange the sermons on any other principle than that of the order in which they were preached.

Excerpt from Advent in St. Paul's, Vol. 2 of 2: Sermons Bearing Chiefly on the Two Comings of Our Lord It is on this general principle that we may do well, on this and the three following Sundays in Advent Season, to place ourselves under the guidance and inspiration of the words of the shepherd-prophet Amos: Prepare to meet thy God, 0 Israel. Certainly, when Christmas Day comes, we shall be as far as possible from feeling that we have got to the bottom of this solemn and momentous warning. Four short half-hours on four successive Sunday afternoons will not do for us what a month of uninterrupted meditation failed to do for the old Egyptian recluses. But it is, at least, possible that we may, some of us, see some new flash of light passing across the surface, the text, the sound, of very familiar words which have lost, if for us they ever had, their true meaning. It is possible that, by God's grace, some of us may date from this Advent our setting about a work which has as yet been neglected or quite forgotten; the work of pre paring to meet our God. A warning like this appeals to a great deal in human character; it touches us on many sides of thought and life. To-day let me begin by, and confine myself to, observing that it appeals with particular force to our sense of prudence.
