Excerpt from God in Nature and Life HE sermons and other writings collected in this volume are designed to preserve in affectionate hearts the memory of a great, fresh, powerful mind, that was in love with God and truth. The volume is intended also as one more expression of Dr. Brooks's favorite thoughts. The sermons were all preached between 1858 and 1873, when he was the pastor of the Baptist Church in Hamilton, n.y. The two lectures belong to a slightly earlier period. The Book of Prayers gradually grew up from Dr. Brooks's own experience, and was put into its present form for the use of a friend. It is here given as it left his hand, the few selections which he added to his own work having been retained. The printed sermons represent the manuscripts as they are, but there is reason to doubt whether Dr. Brooks ever wrote a sermon in full as he preached it. The manu scripts are often disappointing to hearers who re member how they have been thrilled by some lofty passage, thrown in as he was speaking. The bestvi preface.
