The sermons that have done the most good in the world have been those that have been purely and simply declarations of saving truth. It is the exposition of the Word of God which makes most for the moral and spiritual improvement of men. The Word is the Sword of the Spirit, and surely the Holy Spirit prefers His own Sword to any instrument of our devising. A sermon need not be limited to the exposition and enforcement of Scripture, for much of helpfulness is to be drawn from the books of nature and of human life. Jesus, in His preaching, opened up many of His texts with illustrations from nature and life. On the other hand, it is remarkable of the sermons of the New Testament that they are expository in nature and that much of the illustrative material used is drawn from incidents in the Old Testament. There are no better sermon illustrations than those to be found in the Bible itself. This work is intended to aid the preacher and Bible teacher in locating the best of-these, for wh-aver topic he may seek to illumine. KEITH L.
