Strangers And Pilgrims
A Sermon Preached By Grey Hazlerigg On September 26th, 1883 “These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.”—Hebrews 11:13 You and I will have to depart from this world, and what we have to think of is to die right. I want to speak to you tonight of those who died right. It is not every professor who dies right, and I am afraid it is not every professor in this place who will die right.

Mount Moriah
"And the Angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham; and he said. Here am I.”—Genesis 22:11 The biographies of Holy Scripture contain records of the lives and of the conduct of men and women whom the Holy Ghost the great Author of Scripture, brings prominently under our notice. Every biography of Holy Writ is a faithful delineation of the character of the man or woman whose history it portrays. God the Holy Ghost has drawn these lives out for our profit and for our edification.

A Sermon Preached By John Kershaw At East Street Chapel, Walworth, On April 25th, 1848. "Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee; he will never suffer the righteous to be moved.”—Ps 55:22 Beloved, without taking up any time by way of introductory observations, we will come immediately to the words of our text.

That, although loved by his God, bought by blood, and having a kingdom prepared and a crown for him to wear, he had to tread through a tribulative path, to prove what God could do…

Christ The Believer’s Breakwater
Being A Few Poetical Remarks, Occasioned By A Visit To The Breakwater, In Plymouth Sound, On The 30th Of January, 1822. “The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid; the depths also were troubled."—Psalm 77:16 On Wednesday last, a pleasant day. When winds did not their force display, The sea assumed a gentle form, Nor did the sky denote a storm, The Breakwater I went to view, A bulwark great and useful too. The day began and finish'd bright, And truly 'twas a pleasant sight. Amidst the ocean I could stand, And view the deep on either hand. With friends I spent six hours or more, Who show'd all kindness in their power. Upon the Breakwater we walk'd, Look'd round,…
