Excerpt from Dr. Deem's Sermons: Forty-Eight Discourses Comprising Every Sunday Morning Sermon Preached From the Pulpit of the Church of the Strangers When the Church of the Strangers moved into the edifice furnished by the munificence of the late Cornelius Vanderbilt, Esq., a few zealous parishioners brought out in beautiful style the sermons delivered by the pastor on the first forty-eight Sunday mornings in which he officiated. It was no affected modesty which led me to feel that the sermons were hardly worth the pains thus kindly taken. But some of them were repreached by special request some before colleges and elsewhere some were reprinted in various periodicals. A very large edition of a selection from these discourses appeared in London and found their way through Great Britain. Many pleasant incidents have become known, showing that they have been instructive to some and comforting to others in various parts of the world. Since they have been out of print, applications for copies have shown that they were not entirely forgotten. Messrs. Funk and Wagnalls are very apt to know where there is a market, if there be one, and to make a market where there is none. Naturally a man who preaches earnestly what he cordially believes, is gratified when his congregation is enlarged.
