Excerpt from June to May: The Sermons of a Year, Preached at the South Congregational Church in Boston, in 1880 and 1881 This volume is the fourth in a series of sermons preached 1n the South Congregational Church in Boston, and printed week by week at the wish of some of those who heard them. Every parish minister will understand that there is a certain convenience in having in print a few copies of a sermon, which he may wish to send to some who did not hear it. This convenience has been enough to justify the continuation of this series. For the additional convenience of preservation, a few copies are now bound and published together, not because they are on one subject, but rather because they are not; not because they have any literary claim for preservation, but rather because they have not. They simply represent the affectionate counsels which a minister who has spoken to one congregation for a quarter of a century has a right to offer on every theme to the people who come to hear him, people most of whom have heard him long, but who are, in general, younger than he is. The sermons preached on Communion Sundays have generally been reserved for another collection. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
