A famous teacher of Homiletics in an American school used to tell his students a generation ago that the one kind of preaching which always wore was the Expository. The experience of his students, now honoured and wise leaders of their own generations, has many times confirmed this. It is not pulpit eloquence no matter how brilliant, nor topical preaching no matter how timely, wise, varied, or epigrammatic, which best resists the wear and tear of time in a long pastorate with its steady an...

One of the most popular legends of Brittany is that relating to an imaginary town called Is (pronounced Iss), which is supposed to have been swallowed up by the sea at some unknown time. There are several places along the coast which are pointed out as the site of this imaginary city, and the fishermen have many strange tales to tell of it.According to them the tips of the spires of the churches may be seen in the hollow of the waves when the sea is rough, while during a calm the m...

The chapters in this little book might be called “Work-a-day Sermons.” They are intended to bring the highest principles of our holy religion to bear on the practical business of every-day life.Probably all our sermons should have more of this element in them. The Epistles of the New Testament are admirable specimens of the blending of the doctrinal and practical. We are shown how to apply the loftiest principles to the solution of every-day problems. People are not apt to do this ...

The Angels who daily spread the table in the wilderness during the desert wanderings could hardly have had more pleasure in their work than I have had in preparing a daily meal for many of God’s children; and the response has been quite remarkable.From sick chambers, from souls in sore distress and perplexity, from discouraged servants of God, from those occupied in lonely outpost duty, from all parts of the world — testimony has come to the appropriateness and directness with which...

It is very necessary sometimes to ask, especially at the beginning of our Christian life, if we are really right¬—there are so many counterfeits in the world and the church, and when once we have received the stamp and imprimatur of some Christian body, we are apt to trust it as decisive in all after time, so that when appeals are addressed to the unconverted and halting, we at once pass them off to others, feeling sure that they cannot apply to ourselves. How often do souls sit in a very ...

“On whom the ends of the ages are come”—i. e., the end of one age and the beginning of another. Such is our position to-day. In every direction the old order is giving place to the new. It was thus in the days of the Primitive Church, when the typical institutions of the Levitical system were being replaced by “the heavenly things themselves.” And it was also thus at the time when our narrative begins. The story of Samuel is a divine interlude between the days of the Judges and those of Da...

On each Lord’s day large numbers of devoted men, who have not received special training for their noble work, go forth to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ.It is impossible to overestimate the worth of their self-sacrificing labors. Thousands of pulpits in town and country would stand empty and silent but for them. And the standard of excellence set before them and realized is very high.I have put together these chapters in as brief a form as possible, because I am a...
