Excerpt from Sermons to Young Men: A New and Enlarged Edition of "Straight Sermons" The call for a new edition of this little book 'affords an opportunity to change the title (which must have been somewhat mis leading, since it was sometimes misappre hended) and to add another chapter on a truth which is taken for granted through the whole volume, and underlies all its teach ing, - the truth that the person of Christ is the foundation of Christianity. The sermons here printed were written for a church in which there are a great many young men, and afterwards preached in col lege chapels at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and elsewhere. This fact is mentioned merely to account for their practical tend ency, and to explain, or excuse, the circum stance that there is nothing peculiar in their religious teaching.
