Excerpt from Sermons and Songs of the Christian Life The Sermons were written, not for the press, but the pulpit, and are given mainly as they were dcliv ered. I should revise them a good deal more if I sought to reduce them to the standard of classical taste, but I believe in that way they would lose in point and directness; and so I dismiss them as they are, hoping they will find a response in the hearts of some readers worthy of the themes which they set forth.

Excerpt from Christ Our Life: Sermons The wisdom mentioned in our text does not relate to the extent of our knowledge, but to its kind. It is not an expansion of learning already gained, but attention to the sphere of life and conduct which is demanded. It is that wisdom of which the fear of the Lord is the beginning. It has its seat in the heart. This is the repeated declaration of the Word of God. Not only is it distinctly stated in the book from which our text is taken, but we find it in the Book of Psalms. And in Job we read, Behold the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. To Solomon, indeed, there was one living illustration of the truth Of his teaching to which he could recur, the mem ory of a father Whose heart was perfect toward the Lord his God; but the life of David is open to us, as it was to him, and we have further means of apprehending this truth in the history of men who.

Excerpt from Notes of the Christian Life: A Selection of Sermons Preached Let me now endeavour to illustrate some grand common features Of the life of God in the soul, and contrast them with a kind of life which is the sad and melancholy Opposite and alternative of living to and being alive unto God, and which St. Paul calls living in Sin. There are general features of the divine life fundamental to all forms Of it; there are bold terrible signs of the absence Of that life, which are conspicuous warnings against undue com prehensiveness. While we are eager to comfort those who are living to God and do not know it, we are anxious at the outset to be free from the charge of calling evil good, or sympathizing with the pan theistic supposition that all life is the life Of God. Two considerations are suggested by my texts, which will form a general introduction to the ques tion which. I propose to discuss. I. The, contrasted lives Life in Sin, and being alive unto God.
