Preface

Preface This volume contains a series of sermons by the late Charles Haddon Spurgeon, which have never before appeared in print. They are characteristic of the great preacher in that department of his work which he loved so much, and in which he exhibited such supreme gifts—the direct appeal to the heart and conscience of his hearers, the close application of Scripture promise, teaching and rebuke to the habits and practices of their daily life.

These sermons will bring back to those who heard him often in the past the very tones of his magnificent voice, and the persuasive attitudes of the prince of preachers as he pleaded with men on behalf of his Master. And many readers will doubtless be glad to possess the fine photogravure portrait which forms the frontispiece of the book.
