Excerpt from Trumpet Calls to Christian Energy: Being a Collection of Sermons Preached on Sunday and Thursday Evenings at the Metropolitan Tabernacle This volume is issued as a sequel to types and emblems. It is the second of the series, and contains a selection of Sermons all addressed with one particular aim, to arouse the energy and direct the efiorts of Christian workers. The fact that months, and even years in some cases, intervened between their delivery, may tend rather to enhance than to detract from their present interest. By such persistent endeavours to stimulate the enterprise and develop the talents of Church members, the Pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle has enlisted a noble army of valiant labourers, and banded them together in various societies; training them to handle the Sword and to use the Troioel for the defence of the Gospel, and the building up of the Church. Our readers will find here a fair sample of the appeals and persuasives by which a continuous succes sion of fresh volunteers has been recruited into the Home Mission service. Although no special order has been observed in the arrangement of these Sermons, the first and the last each tells its own story. The one was a cry for Revival, before the manifold agencies now so vigorously carried forward had been brought into operation the other was a solemn reflection prompted by the closing Sabbath of the past year, when the visit of the American Evangelists to our Metropolis was in prospect.
