In  preparing  the  second  edition  of  these  volumes,
the  editor  has  been  happy  to  avail  himself  of  sugges^
tions  made  by  several  friends,  especially  by  members
of  the  Church  Book  Society.  The  changes  thus  made
are  chiefly  designed  to  guard  against  misconception  of
the  author's  meaning.
And  lastly;  since  the  publication  of  these  tracts,
the  writer  of  most  of  them  has  been  summoned  by  an


tnthority  which  he  could  not  resist,  to  the  OTersight
of  t  vast  missionarj  district,  extending  from  the  Mis-
mippi  to  the  Bockj  Mountains.  If,  by  this  humble
endesTor,  any  Christian  heart  shall  be  edified  or  com-
ftrted,  maj  it  nplift  a  prayer  for  one  who  deeply  feels
lus  inadequacy  to  the  solemn  responsibilities  which
now  devolve  upon  him.
