T. CUMMING, STELLARTON, NOVA SCOTIA-Extracted from Review in "THE EASTERN CHRONICLE.'

"This volume presents an excellent specimen of the modern evangelical preaching of Scotland at its best. The publisher deserves to be heartily supported in this enterprise, by which he presents, at the cost of One Penny per week, a first-class religious discourse from the pen of one of the most celebrated evangelical ministers of Scotland."—Liverpool Mercury.

"There is great variety both of subject and style in the sermons, as might be expected, combined with great general excellence."-Witness.

"There are weighty doctrinal discourses, scholarly expositions of Scripture, ably maintained theses, pointed practical exhortations, and fervent evangelical appeals. The styles vary from the severely classic to the faultlessly rhetoric. Variety and unity are apparent throughout. As a rule, the sermons are not show sermons. They are designed to be useful, rather than ornamental. They possess the best characteristics of what has been known as distinctively Scottish preaching.”—Daily Review.
