FROM THE REV. SAMUEL DAVIDSON, 

 D.D., LL.D. 



" The articles in the ' Homilist,' which I 

 have read, display a wholesome, vigorous, 

 original power of thought, eminently exciting 

 and suggestive. Here are rich materials that 

 may be hammered out into many sermons, or 

 used as models of sermonizing. 



" A hopeful sign of progress is this' Homilist,' 

 whose able Editor deserves every encourage- 

 ment for his generous and manly etforts to 

 improve the character of modern sermons. He 

 sees clearly what is wanted, and is doing much 

 to call it forth. I wish him abundant success 

 in his honourable and sacred mission."
