The title of this book Old Thoughts on Old Themes suggests, somewhat, the nature of the matter the reader may expect to meet herein. The topics treated are some, only, of very many upon which the undersigned has spoken, after tlie manner of sermons, at different times and in different places during a ministry of twelve years. Some of these topics are as old as the world; and some are not very new. Little, therefore, is said that has not oft been said before and so no claim is laid to originality. If any merit, however, attaches to the selection of ideas and the arrangement of them as they occur in these pages, the writer can say that such are all his own. On the other hand, should anyone take exception to the number of quotations found in some of these Themes he may know they are given in the belief that in a multitude of words there is wisdom. And the writer finds comfort and encouragement in the truthful words of Emerson: We are as much informed of a writers genius by what he selects as by what he originates. We read the quotation with his eyes, and find a new and fervent sense. With a certain class, of course, it is hardly to be expected that these Themes can find much favor.
