I find more profit in sermons on either good temper or good works than in what are commonly called 'gospel sermons'. That term has now become a mere cant word; I wish none of our society would use it. It has no determinate meaning. Let but a pert, self-sufficient animal, that has neither grace nor sense, bawl out something about Christ or his blood or justification by faith and his hearers cry out, 'What a fine gospel sermon!’.
