A few paragraphs from the preface of this work will serve to indicate the trend of the sermons. That they are often wrong is seen in the fact that it is necessary to change, alter or amend them. Translations of the Bible may need revision, but the Bible, as it came from the inspiring Spirit of God, needs no alteration. Being perfect, it is not susceptible of improvement. Perfection cannot be improved.
Science is progressive.
Improvements are frequently made. New discoveries are often developed. But Christianity was perfect when it came from its author, and cannot be improved. Man may grow in a knowledge of the divine will so as to more perfectly teach and practice it, but to improve it would be to improve perfection itself. This cannot be done, and it is unwise to attempt it.
