Book Description
Excerpt from Miscellaneous Sermons Not that our blessed Saviour intends to say, by the ex pressions I have quoted, that the only mode of effecting a change is by such sudden, and vigorous resolutions; but that, where sudden and vigorous resolutions are necessary, any violence done to habit, any pain endured by depriving our selves of enjoyments to which we have been accustomed, is not for an instant to be weighed against the danger of retain mg the sin, or the advantage of abjuring it. A certain por tion of time, indeed, and a certain gradation in improvement, must be allowed to the infirmities of our nature; and that repentance is not unacceptable to God where there is progress in righteousness. Whichever of us all can look back at the time past with the pleasing certainty that he has acquired a greater power over any one bad passion; that his virtuous resolutions are more constantly observed; that the habit of doing good, and saying good, and thinking good, are growing stronger and stronger in his heart - the repentance of that man is a repentance which leads to salvation, and he is be coming more fit for the kingdom of heaven, as he approaches nearer to it.

Excerpt from Sermons, Doctrinal, Miscellaneous, and Occasional IN preparing this Edition, the sermons have been carefully revised, - additions made to some, retrench ments in others, and some changes also in their arrangement. An additional sermon has been in 'serted, on the true nature of the Faith spoken of in the Gospels: this now stands as Sermon IV. The sermon on' The New Jerusalem, as being the first that the author composed, is now placed first in the volume, thus increasing the number of Doctrinal Ser mons to twelve. With these improvements, it is hoped that the work will be found still more useful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Sermons, Biographical Miscellaneous Disraeli which is appended to the sermon on Loyola. In one case he purposely brought together men so different as Bunyan and Spinoza, in order to show how the same spirit of truth might be working in characters who would have been mutually repulsive. The subjects of some of the sermons are intimate friends like Stanley or Henry Smith, those of others men strange to him in time and character. But they show the width and depth of his sympathy with all developments of goodness. The sermons have been arranged, not in the order in which they were preached, but historically; the life of Wycliffe being the most ancient, and that of Green the most modern of those treated.

Book Description
Excerpt from Sermons, and Other Miscellaneous Pieces, Vol. 1 of 2 Among other literary projects enters tained by Dr. Hunter, and which death, alas! Prevented him from executing, was that of publishing a selection of letters which had come under his observation, written chiefly by members of his own fa mily, and applicable to, because they had arisen out of, the varied circumstances of real life and real feeling. The idea was first suggested to him by the accumulation of letters written by his son Thomas. The death of this much loved child only tended to strengthen his resolution of erecting from his own productions some memorial to his memory. In conformity to this de sign he had already planned a preface, and sketched the order of the work', when death intervened, and, for a time, blasted the project.

Book Description
Excerpt from Sermons on Miscellaneous Subjects: By the Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and the Senior Preachers of the Ohio and North Ohio Conferences He who rules himself is honored of God. They who walk humbly with God, being in subjection to the Father of their Spirits, have a near access to him, and am styled, in the Scriptures, kings and priests. Neither is it an inconsiderable advantage, that they are honored with the friendship and care of angels, and blessed with the fellowship of good men. S As they are happy themselves, they are also a blessing to others: instead of corrupting their fellow creatures by their example, they become the honored in struments in the Divine hand, of shedding abroad the blessings of Heaven on mankind; for they are the light of the world. These, my brethren, these are the faithful servants, whom God will accept, bless, and support in the day of death. These being delivered from the guilt and dominion of sin, shall not be afraid of the king of terrors; the Sun of righteousness will illumine their path to a happier world; holy angels will bear them to the mansions of rest; and there shall they remain for ever happy with the Lord.

Book Description
Excerpt from Sermons From the Pulpit The very slight miscellaneous training he had received, was as defective in kind as limited in extent, and with heart and will to go forward in the great work before him, he felt from the first, and at every step, that something beyond the ordinary food and shelter of mind, was neces sary to prepare him for the pulpit. He saw that deter mined and earnest reliance upon his own efforts was his only resource, and relying upon Divine aid, he sought to apply himself accordingly. Without guide or model, with no one to direct or strike out a course for him as a student, he was left to project and explore his own path, or be content with what he was likely to become, from the mere force of circumstances. With strong intuitive perceptions and sympathies, in relation to the good and the beautiful in nature and mo rals, with irrepressible yearnings to learn and toknow; the means and expedients to which he would be driven, as the only possible condition of ability and influence as a minister, can be readily imagined. He soon found that while improvement, in the field of thought and labor he had chosen, had some fixed and necessary elements, many of its phases were altogether doubtful and tentative, and that all depended on trial and effort, and under the stim ulus and pressure of duty and necessity, the tension of strong desire and unrelaxed endeavor, yielding to the tendencies of his nature without rule or model, except the ideal of his own perceptions, he appealed for aid to what ever was likely to avail him. He was the pupil, and sought to learn of whatever there was about him, from which he could derive instruction or aid. Reading, re fiection, Observation and experience - inward springs and outward relations - all the affinities and influences of mind.
