Book Description
Excerpt from Substance of Sermons It is certain that as God can accept no worship than rational from reasonable creatures, he cannot require us to believe a revelation to be divine without sufficient reason; and therefore when he gives us a revelation, he will attest it with such evidences as will be a sufficient foundation of our belief. Accordingly, the Scriptures are attested with all the evi dence, intrinsic and extrinsic, which we can reasonably desire, and with all the evidences the nature of the thing will admit.

Book Description
Excerpt from Newman and Ritualism: Being the Substance of Sermons Preached and Now Published by Request A very important principle underlies these words - a principle that is pre-eminently a Protestant one. It is, that in matters of faith and morals every man should exercise his right of private judgment. In one of his posthumous essays John Stuart Mill traces the intellectual superiority of the Protestant nations to the fact that Protestants think for themselves on religious questions and that this gives them such valuable mental training and exercise that they can think on other matters with greater clearness and force than those can who are accustomed to yield submissively to the voice of authority. One branch of the argument from Authority has been used regarding Cardinal Newman with considerable effect. It has been said that Cardinal Newman was a man of great learning and ability, of great piety and devotion, a sincere man who knew both sides of the controversy between the Church of Rome and Protestantism, therefore it is reasonable to follow him. We cannot tell how many have reasoned thus, but many have acknowledged that this train of thought has led them to Rome.

Book Description
Excerpt from Hands Full of Honey: And Other Sermons Preached in 1883 But, beloved, it is written, As he is, so are we also in this world. All that are true Christians are, in a measure, like the Christ whose name they bear, and it is to his image that we are finally to be conformed. When he Shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; and meanwhile, in proportion as we see him now, we are changed into the same image, from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. The Samson type may well serve as the symbol of every Christian in the world. The believer has been helped by divine grace in his spiritual con icts, and he has known the victory which overcometh the world, even our faith. He has thus been made more than a conqueror through him that loved us, and now he stands in the midst of his fellow-men inviting them to Jesus. With the honey in his hands, which he continues still to feast upon, he displays the heavenly sweetness to all that are round about him, saying, 0 taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

Book Description
Excerpt from Fresh Views of Old Truths: Church Sermons T is undeniable that there is often a wearisome sameness about Sermons which has afforded sad occasion for the contempt only too readily expressed for them by an irreligious world. The Author hopes and believes that he has at the least avoided this fault. The repelling element of constantly recurring religious common-places, and the stock phrases which are meant to cover, but never really conceal from the intelligent, poverty or confusion of thought, will not be found in these Sermons. Very early in the days of the world they became a just cause of complaint. Even by the godly Job they were found intolerable: and he signified his impatience of them in the plainest language. How forcible (says be) are right words. But what doth your arguing reprove? I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all! Shall vain words have an end? I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you. But I would strengthen you with my mouth. The conventional terms too, so appropriate to systematic theology, are but very sparingly introduced; the Author considering them out of place in Parochial Sermons, as inconsistent with the simplicity of the Gospel, and irrelevant to the plain teachings that the Preacher should be setting himself to gather in a practical form from the passage before him.

Book Description
Excerpt from Sermons, Vol. 2 Mr. Howels having preached on the subject of the Lord's Supper, on the morning of the first Sunday in several successive months, preparatory to the establishment of a weekly sacrament in his chapel; and the Sermons as taken in short hand, having been preserved; the substance of these is printed at the close of this volume but as the original matter has been a good deal abridged, chiefly to avoid repetition and the arrangement in some degree altered, it has been found convenient to adopt the form of a Treatise, rather that attempt to adhere to the original division of separate Sermons. I have felt the less reluctance to the publish ing of this volume in its present state, because it will, be found to embrace a large portion of those subjects which are of primary importance; almost all those which occupied a prominent place in Mr. Howels' ministry, being here either directly or incidentally discussed.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Apostolic Rite of Confirmation: Being the Substance of Two Sermons Preached Before His Congregation, on Sunday, January 27, 1867 The doctrine of Baptisms and laying-ou-oi-hands. Heb. Vi. 2. We have come, my Brethren, for the first time, in our new parish, to a season when the Rite of Confirmation is about to be administered. Although from its frequency - a happy improve ment on bygone days - people seem now somewhat better informed than hitherto Of its nature and its Obligations, yet it is Obviously the duty Of your Minister not to let so important an event in our church-proceedings pass by without the notice it deserves. Besides this, it were only what may be expected by those, who, as parents Of families, are interested in the Christian profession Of the younger members, who, we presume, have been brought up in the nurture and admonition Of the Lord, as well as by the young persons themselves, some of whom may now be 'hesitating, and shrinking from coming forward to avow their determination to be for ever the servants and sogdiers Of the lord jesus christ it were only, I say, what may be expected from your minister that he should explain the meaning of the Ordinance, state the authority on which it rests, and enforce its obligations on ail who have not yet been partakers of its benefits. To these points may be added a few remarks regarding the zdtfi'erences of its administration in the various branches Of the Catholic Church.

Book Description
Excerpt from Unspoken Sermons Let us then look at the passage as I think it ought to be translated, and after that, seek the meaning for the sake of which it was written. It is a meaning indeed by no means dependent for its revelation on this passage, belonging as it does to the very truth as it is in Jesus; but it is therein magnificently expressed by the apostle, and differ ently from anywhere else - that is, if I am right in the interpretation which suggested itself the moment I saw the probable rhetorical relation of the words. All things were made through him, and without him was made not one thing. That which was made in him was life, and the life was the light of men.'
