Sermons. By the Rev. William Braden. Edited by Agnes Braden.

With a Preface by the Rev. H. R. Reynolds, D.D. (James Clarke.)— It is not necessarily praise to say of sermons that they might be preached without offence to any assembly of Christians. It is praise, when it is said of this volume. They are remarkably undogmatic, and yet full of doctrine, and as far as possible removed from the dullness of the moral essay. Their chief characteristic, indeed, is- the fullness with which the preacher dwells on the person and char- acter of Christ. No theme, it is evident, touched him more profoundly "The God of the Generation" is a specially good discourse.
