OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"Since Dr. Chalmers, no Scottish divine has produced sermons more eloquent and impressive than those contained in this volume. Two or three extracts will show that this book is different from the ordinary pulpit style which has rendered a sermon' almost a synonym for any composition which is dull, formal, and unattractive."-Literary Gazette.

"He has long been acknowledged as the most brilliant of preachers. The present work will amply bear out his reputation in this respect. It is full of the noblest eloquence and richest poetry. It is the outpouring of a glorious imagination, sanctified, which adorns, but never overshadows the truth. Indeed, for beautiful thought and glowing diction, we will confidently stake it against any production of the modern press."-Caledonian Mercury.

"He dips his brush in the simplest colours, and, as with a firm hand, bold and strong, he fills his canvas, figures start into life there that every eye at once recognises, and in attitudes whose meaning needs no interpreter to describe. Their author has looked on the material world with the eye of a poet, on human life with the eye of a philanthropist, the two great open fountains whence his imagery as a pulpit orator is drawn."- North British Review.

"To our friends south of the Scottish Border, who do not know Dr. Guthrie, we say, Procure this volume and read it, and you will feel that you have made the acquaintance of a man whom it were worth while to go some distance to see." -British Quarterly Review.
