Excerpt from Characters in the Gospels: Illustrating Phases of Character at the Present Day The followmg discourses, with but slight alteration, are printed as they were delivered from the pulpit. I have sufficiently indicated their general purpose in my introductory remarks. Scripture teaches, reproves, and corrects not only by its doctrines and precepts, but by the various personages, both good and evil, who are deline ated upon its pages. And while I have selected the most striking traits in each character as typical of classes at the present day, I am not conscious of pressing the anal ogies too closely.
