Another book of sermons? Yes, but the reader will agree with the writer that these sermons are different from many, in that they are calculated to awaken as well as to edify. Hence, they are properly named, "Awakening Messages".
I have heard most of these sermons preached with telling effect upon large audiences. Such messages ought not to die, but he reproduced upon paper and be read and re-read.
It is too bad that many great and good men live, enjoy life, then die and are soon forgotten because they did not put in print anything that was calculated to mold character after they were gone. It is said that there are three ways in which one may project his life into the future -- by a boy, or a bounty, or a book. So, if one cannot give to the world an exemplary boy, or build a library, he may he inspired to write a book.
When I first met the author of this book, little did I think that he would later become our noble son-in-law, nor did I dream that he, with us, would so soon be bereaved of our lovely Evangeline. But perhaps this great sorrow can be alleviated somewhat by the fact that she and the writer urged the publication of these messages. While assisting her husband in their preparation, doubtless the queenly girl never once imagined that the same book would contain a brief sketch of her beautiful life. So, if this volume will enhance the glory of God and be an inspiration to those who read, it will be a profitable, though sad investment.
Hoping that the book may have a wide circulation, and that many, "in that day," may rise up and call the bereaved husband and his sainted lover blessed, we commend this volume to the public.
