was so much preaching and publishing of sermons-in which so many persons heard and read them with such evident interest-in which all the institutions connected with preaching were so well sustained-and in which the great spiritual results contemplated by preaching were so marked and abundant.
This, we believe, is largely owing to the personal example and powerful influence of the distinguished man whose life. we have imperfectly sketched in this volume. There is no preacher in any section of the Christian church to be compared with him for practical ability and usefulness. The ramifications of his work at the Tabernacle reach in every direction all over the globe. He has evidently been raised up by God for special service in His cause, and is to be regarded as one of His greatest gifts to this age.
