PER VOLUME. Each Volume is complete in itself. Any Volume therefore will be supplied. (Extract from the Author's Preface.) The design of this Volume is to assist ministers in their preparations for preaching the Gospel of Christ. Hence its title, "Helps for the Pulpit." The greater part of the Outlines have been the guide of the Author in his public ministrations; and he believes that they were not only delivered with pleasure to himself, but also, through Divine influence, made a blessing to some who heard them. Each sermon generally occupied three quarters of an hour in the delivery; but some of the Outlines will not take more than ten minutes to read them, and others rather less. The introduction to each disconrse is generally short, blanks being introduced there, and also, throughout each Outline, to indicate room for amplification. The Author has, in most cases, endeavoured to preserve unity of design respecting the subject of the text, and to make the Divisions natural and striking. The Sale of these Volumes has far exceeded the Publishers' expectations, and it is gratifying to know that the rapid sale of several editions has not been induced by extreme advertising, or the procuring of reviews, which are often partial and the result of favouritism. These Volumes of "Helps for the Pulpit" have silently and unostentatiously produced their own sale. The very extensive sale of these Volumes has much encouraged the Author. He has also been much encouraged by the very flattering testimonials which he has received from eminent ministers, and others, as to the evangelical nature, Scripture elucidation, and usefulness of "Helps for the Pulpit." PULPIT THEMES; DESIGNED TO EXHIBIT THE NATURE AND PROPERTY OF THE BLESSED BY THE AUTHor of "Helps for the PULPIT." The design of this work is to supply Ministers with arguments in proof of the truth of Christianity. Ministers should become familiar with infidel objections to Christianity, and be able to meet them. Many of these "Pulpit Themes" will supply them with arguments by which to withstand sceptical opposition, to establish the minds of the wavering, and to comfort those who are weak, and who tremble for Zion.
