Excerpt from Discourses: Doctrinal and Moral

Should they help, in any way, in the salvation of souls, by arousing the sinner, to a sense of his sadly degraded condition, and converting him from the evil of his ways, aided by the All powerful Grace of God 3 and serve to stimulate the just, to advance steadily and perseveringly in the road of Christian perfection, thus contributing to the Glory of God, any small trouble undergone in connection with them will not be undertaken in vain, and shall thus be amply repaid.

We have had in view, in their publication, to remedy, in some measure, a great defect connected with most of the sermons with which the world is flooded, especially those imported from abroad. That defect is the absence of Scriptural quotations and especially, their appropriate application.

This is the more to be deplored, as nothing imparts such strength to a sacred discourse, nothing so appropriate, nothing so acceptable to the hearers, nothing so calculated to bring a blessing on the labours of a preacher, as the appropriate quota tion of the Word of God Himself.

Now, it is humbly hoped, this glaring defect may, to a certain extent, be remedied in the following Discourses.

It may not be amiss to observe, that some of the following Dis courses may seem to be, and really are, too long for a single sermon. For instance, those On the Sacrifice of the Mass.
