PREFACE
At the suggestion of certain of my
people who listened to these simple Sun-
day evening sermons and thought them
worthy of a wider congregation I have
committed them to the types; diffidently,
yet with the earnest hope of diminishing,
at least by one, the tragedies which fill a
Father's heart with sorrow and abeautiful
world with gloom.
