Overview

This is a volume of sermons on such themes as The Dream of Christian Civilization, Angelic Models for Earthly Lives, The Treasures of the Highlands, The Inspiration of the Hope of Immortality, The Vital Atmosphere of a Christian Life, etc. The number of discourses contained in the volume is twenty-four. We presume that the title of the selection was suggested by the theme of the first sermon, in which the thought is developed that the hope or dream of a universal triumph of Christianity in this world, is destined to become a reality -- is, in fact, being realized now. The world, though still sinful enough, is yet growing better, and Christianity is gradually taking possession of its entire life. The same spirit of hopeful optimism, or perhaps, rather, meliorism, seems to run through the other sermons embraced in the collection. The language is simple and chaste, and is adapted to the intelligence of ordinary Christian congregations. The structure of the sermons is unconventional and natural. While the thought proceeds according to correct logical sequence, there is no exhibition of skeletons and no parade of logical formulas. In this respect these discourses are in harmony with the prevailing fashion of sermonizing in our day. Young preachers who desire a model of popular sermons for study would do well to procure this volume. It would be profitable reading also for Christian households. --The Reformed Quarterly Review, Volume 43
