PREFACE.
A true estimate in English homes of Authority and Knowledge would be of priceless value to the country. To contribute anything to such an object would be a great privilege.
But perhaps it is more practical to hope that the Sermon may be of some service in a Parish to which I am very closely bound, by suggesting some ways in which the two influences of home and school may be brought into closer alliance, and do thereby better work for the children than they can do apart.
Not that I should have printed the Sermon by my own act for either of these objects: and if, by God's blessing, it should in any degree serve them, this will be due entirely to the kindness of a Parishioner who requested and undertook the printing of it.
