Christian Life, Its Hopes, Its Fears, and Its Close: Sermons, Preached Mostly in the Chapel of Rugby School (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Christian Life, Its Hopes, Its Fears, and Its Close: Sermons, Preached Mostly in the Chapel of Rugby School

The sermons in the present volume have been taken from a great number extending through many years, and it would have been so difficult to make a choice where so many might seem of equal interest, that the Editor has thought it better to give in succession all the sermons which have been preached in the School chapel at Rugby, during the three half years before the unexpected close. Thus the reader will have brought before him the habitual teaching of one whose tender love and anxiety for those committed to his care ended only with his life. It will be seen that the last sermon in the volume was preached on the Sunday immediately preceding his own death.

The earlier sermons in the volume have been selected on other grounds. The first was preached several years ago, on the death of one of his pupils, and is so strikingly applicable to the circumstances of his own sudden departure, that it will naturally be read with interest, as expressing his view of such a summons.
