52 Devotional Sermons to Be Read Every Sabbath
THESE Sermons are short; and will, on that account, be found the more suitable for family reading. They are fifty-two in number, in order to furnish one for every Sabbath in the year. They are not upon family duties; but are rather meant as statements of the glorious gospel in some of its manifold aspects, as "the gospel of the grace of God."
