London Sermons. By C. M. Davies, D.D. (Tinsley Brothers.)—Dr. Davies

tells us in one of these sermons that he confeases himself to be among the number of those who "feel often commissioned (one dares not say inspired) to speak of the results of those things "—faith and morals—" which are the principal subjects of the teaching of others," meaning by " results " tho state of those who have departed this life. He wishes Death to be looked on as "a blessed change,—as blessed as that nightly sleep which is almost as great a mystery, and one object of which, I have no doubt, is to familiarise us with death." These words express the end which Dr. Davies sets before himself in roost of these sermons, which end he strives after not altogether without effect.
