2 PREFACE. It is difficult to make a special introduction to each volume of these current Sermons, since the separate volumes are not made up with any special end in view. They simply comprise, each, one-half of the sermons. preached by me during the six months covered by twenty-six numbers of Plymouth Pulpit, the weekly Pamphlet publication of them. The reporting and selection of them for publication fall to other hands than mine. I can, therefore, only bear witness to the fidelity of the record and the evenness with which it represents the course of my teachings. HENRY WARD BEECHER. LESSONS: Ephesians ii. 1-13—iii. 1-21.
