Prefatory Note

In accordance with a suggestion made by the pubHshers to the author some few months before his death, these devotional sermonettes, which have appeared from time to time in The Christian World, are now issued in collective form. Eighty-six sermonettes are here included, dealing with varied subjects that may appeal to varied minds. In the course of their previous issue the author received much eloquent testimony regarding the help and comfort derived from their perusal, which fact would tend to the belief that this further offering in a more permanent form is not without some measure of justification.
