Excerpt from Preaching Christ: Sermons AT my request, Dr. Henry Preserved Smith has prepared this sketch of my husband's life, and arranged the sermons for the press. There was especial fitness in this, because Dr. Smith was for three years the pupil of Dr. Evans, and the tie which binds the earnest student to the inspiring instructor early became very strong. The friendship thus begun, was strengthened by nineteen years of affectionate intercourse as members of the same Faculty of instruction. Their kindred pursuits - both being students of the Scrip tures - drew them more nearly together, and in their studies they developed similar views on the points of theology, so much debated in late years. They stood side by side in defending the rights of scholarly investigation of the Book they both loved, and their common experiences at this time made them esteem each other all the more, and increased their affection as it increased their intimacy. I wish here to express my thanks to Dr. Smith for the manner in which he has discharged his sacred duty, and to those who assisted him in the preparation of the volume. In accordance with my desire, the sermons are reproduced just as they were delivered, and as they are contained in the manuscripts. Had my husband lived to see them through the press, he might have made changes or corrections. This fact should be borne in mind in case any reader discovers what seems to him faulty in arrangement or punctuation.
