We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also

SERMONS VII, VIII.

THE JUDGMENT DAY.

And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it,

from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away;
and

there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead,

small and great, stand before God; and the books were

opened; and another book was opened, which is the book

of life: and the dead were judged out of those things

which were written in the books, according to their

works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it;

and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in

them and they were judged every man according to their

works.-REV. XX. 11-13...

SERMONS IX, X.

ETERNITY.

.page 93, 107

We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things

which are not seen: for the things which are seen are

temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.—

HEAVEN.

And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God

and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall

serve him: and they shall see his face; and his name

shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night

there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun;

for the Lord giveth them light: and they shall reign for

ever.-REVELATION XXII. 3, 4, 5.........page 191, 207

SERMONS XV, XVI.

THE CHRISTIAN'S TRIUMPH.

Thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory, through our

Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be

ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work

of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not

in vain in the Lord.-1 CORINTHIANS XV. 57, 58.

and peace shall be with you.—2 CORINTHIANS XIII. 11.

SERMON I.

THE DAY OF GRACE.

2 CORINTHIANS VI. 1, 2.

We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

THE peculiarly important relation which has so long subsisted between us as minister and people, being likely, in God's providence, soon to cease, I have anxiously considered what are the subjects to which I might most profitably direct your attention in that limited period during which we are likely to continue together.
