Excerpt from Texas Pulpit by Christian Preachers We were disappointed in failing to obtain sermons from several of our editors and college presidents, nevertheless, we received a dozen more than we could find space for in this volume. We wish to present them and many others in a second volume, if we receive sufficient encouragement. The discourses here presented are not thrown together at random, but are arranged with great care and studied system. There are seven groups, which intermingle as the colors of the rainbow, as follows: 1. Those that treat of the Bible as a whole. 2. Those dealing largely with Old Testament themes. 3. Those that view Christ from different standpoints. 4. Those that set forth the elements of the gospel. 5. Those that teach Christian duties. 6. Those that discuss matters pertaining to the reformation. 7. Those that treat of future things. We have aimed to have the subjects follow each other in regular order, like the chapters in a book written by one man. Accordingly, the editor, in the introductory discourse, calls attention to the beautiful System and arrangement of the Bible. Pennington analyzes it. Lowber, in the light of the Bible, gives us a view of the spirit of man. This suggests the inner and outer man, and Bradford treats of the two laws pertaining thereto. The mind naturally glides from the thought of two laws to that of "the two covenants, " discussed by Shouse. And while we are pondering a plurality of laws, D'Spain comes to our assistance, with the information that a change of priesthood necessitates a change of law. Priesthood suggests the temple, and Lockhart reconstructs the temple of Solomon before our eyes, in all its beauty and magnificence, and leaves us on the very pinacle thereof.
