Excerpt from Sermons and Addresses IT is more than ten years ago that several of the sermons included in this volume were type-written, with a view to their publication. I had repeatedly been asked to give forth, in a collected form, a number of the addresses which I had delivered. But the exigencies of professional life, and the heavy claims upon my time by the various duties of my position, did not permit me to fulfil that request. I con tented myself in the meantime with issuing special sermons in pamphlet form, or through the medium of the Jewish Press. An occasion, however, to which reference is made in the Dedication attached to the present volume, has impelled me, after many years of preaching, both to gratify the wishes of my friends and to afford myself the satisfaction of giving to the spoken word a more permanent form.
