Excerpt from Advent in St. Paul's, Vol. 1 of 2: Sermons Bearing Chiefly on the Two Comings of Our Lord When, three years ago, the author published some sermons preached in St. Paul's during the Easter Season, it was suggested that something of the same kind might be attempted for other portions of the Christian year. The present publication, accordingly, is devoted to the two great truths which the Church of Christ proposes for our consideration during Advent; our Lord's First Coming among men as the Son of a virgin-mother, and His Second Coming in the clouds of heaven to judge the living and the dead. A. Third volume should follow, consecrated to the festival of Christmas and to the close of the civil year. In these two volumes there has been no attempt to arrange the sermons on any other principle than that of the order in which they were preached.
