Excerpt from Pulpit and Grave: A Volume of Funeral Sermons and Addresses, From Leading Pulpits of America, England, Germany and France, Containing 90 Sermons, Sketches of Sermons, and Obituary Addresses Upon young ministers these dutids and responsibilities rest at times with an almost crushing weight. Upon none Should they rest lightly. If by this volume they may be guided in the per formance Of the one, and better prepared for the bearing of the other, its purpose is accomplished, and an apology for its existence is needless. In the effort to compass this, resort has been had to a wide variety Of the richest sermonic literature, from which the compiler has gleaned with a view to satisfying the practical needs of the preacher rather than to furnishing mere Specimens of eloquence. Many Of the sermons given have never before been published, having been supplied, upon request, by their authors, to whom hearty thanks are hereby tendered. It is fitting also to express my Obligations to Dr. J. M. Sherwood for the rare judg ment with which he has aided both in the selection and arrange ment of material. Upon the list Of classified texts much care and labor have been expended to render it a valuable aid to the preacher in the saving Of time. Many clergymen have adopted the custom of omitting the text altogether and delivering what are known as Obituary addresses. The custom has its advantages, but' it.has not yet Obtained such favor either among clergymen or people as greatly to impair the usefulness of a list of texts arranged for ready reference.
