are pointedly applicable to the needs
of daily life, sympathetic with human
sorrows, stimulative of hope and Joy,
no less than of penance for sin. They
are devout in spirit, useful, practical,

choice of scripture quotations, and the
solid substance Of Lutheran doctrinal
instruction. These sermons have been
long thought over and really preached,
and they seem to enhale that Luther

ceive as wide distribution as it de-
serves"
