The Editor, in offering to the religious public, the Works of President EDWARDS, in what may, perhaps for this country, without impropriety, be called a standard edition, has gratified his personal attachment to this excellent man. He has sought also the advancement of the great doctrines of the cross,...

THE book of Esther contains principles of great value at all times, but especially at the present one, when some who delve very little into the word of God are liable to wonder at some of His ways, and grow discouraged in the path of obedience. It is needful therefore, that such, and all of us, should...

The present work is a translation of the third edition of Sexualethik und Sexualpädagogik, by Dr. F. W. Foerster, Professor of Education at the University of Vienna, and formerly Special Lecturer on Psychology and Ethics at the University of Zürich. All over the continent of Europe this book has...

THE Epistle is usually made a sort of preface to those of Ignatius, for reasons which will be obvious to the reader. Yet he was born later, and lived to a much later period. They seem to have been friends from the days of their common pupilage under St. John; and there is nothing improbable in the...

It was in 1528, that Sir Thomas More, being already regarded as the most accomplished scholar in England, and having before his eyes a near prospect of being invited to fill the chief place in his sovereign’s council, was induced to accept bishop Tonstal’s permission to read the works of the reformers,...

It occupied a large place in the daily press and I am dependent upon that for the account of it. I realize, of course, that the press...

At the present moment it is the fashion to attempt to drive a wedge between the teaching of St. Paul on the subject of our Lord’s Resurrection and that of the Evangelists. It is to this attempt that attention is largely directed in the paper which follows. It is historically certain that the Christian...

No book means so much to religion as the Bible. In all its forms it has greatly served religion, and in its modern forms its meaning comes out more clearly and more tellingly than ever. It has more to teach the modern world about religion than even its strongest advocates have realized. Few of them...

It is of great importance in these days, in which conservatives and liberals are pitted against each other, and they who bow before the authority of the Word of God must join battle with those who place human reason on the throne, that those who accept the Bible as the infallible Word of God, should...

Scholars are continually tantalized by all manner of announcements touching the birthday festivals of men whom they delight to honor, announcements that reach them a month or six weeks after the happy day, at a time at which they can either no longer send their congratulations, or at best can only...

Of all enquiries, which employ the minds of men, I know not any that can be reckoned important, in comparison of that which was once made by a trembling jaylor at Philippi, viz. What Shall I do to be saved? And I suppose there can hardly be found one thinking Man, let his sentiments in other respects...

Preface The addresses in this volume were mostly given in S. Mark’s, Philadelphia; those on the Seven Words on Good Friday, 1897, and the greater part of the others at different Eastertides. They are reproduced from the stenographer’s notes, and are intended for devotional reading or as...
