Présentation de l'éditeur

OliY NOTE. In the auttunn of 1888, the Provost and Deans of the Faculties of the University of Pennsylvania honored the writer with tlie request to deliver before the students a seiies of Sunday Afternoon Addresses upon Religious Topics. In acceding to this request, the writer, believing the Ten Commandments to be the foundation-stones of Authoritative Morality or True Society, selected them for tlie theme of his lectures. These Commandments, being in their nature so fundamental, germinal, and immortal, have, of course, occupied much of the writers reflections during a ministry of more than thirty years. A ccordingly, he feels justified in incorporating intothisboolc certain thoughts and wctrds wiiicli have appeared elsewhere. The Scriptural citations are almost uniformly from the Revised Version. In venturing to send forth this volume, the author humbly prays that Almighty God may be pleased to bless it to the moral elevation of the young people of Christendom. G. D. B.
