Excerpt from The Sunny Side of Life: Sermons Preached in the Every-Day Church, Boston In the preparation of the following sermons, it was no part of my plan that hey should be published in book form. They were all preached to the congregation of the Every-Day Church, Boston, in the course of my regular ministry. While they were preached without manuscript, they were usually dictated for publication the following week. Sometimes the dictation was made with reasonable care, but more frequently very rapidly and with a view only to newspaper use. Amid an unusually busy and distracting ministry, I have at the suggestion of friends undertaken to gather up a few of these sermons into a volume. Now that they are published, I am bound to acknowledge that I cannot be proud of my children. Upon nearly every page, certainly in every sermon, I am confronted with visible and humiliating signs of great haste in preparation, while revision is quite out of the question. The only merit perhaps which could ever have been claimed for these sermons was an honest purpose evident in them to call men to a higher life, and a warmth of earnestness which I can only hope has not wholly disappeared in the printing. It was not found practicable to make the arrangement with reference to any proper sequence. Indeed, the arrangement has been more with reference to variety.
