SERMONS. By the Rev. ALFRED GATTY, M.A., Vicar of Ecclesfield.
"In the effective simplicity with which Mr. Gatty applies the
incidents and precepts of the Gospel to the every-day concerns of
life, he has no superior. His faith is that of a sincere and
genuine scriptural Churchman."--_Britannia._
"Of all sermons I have ever seen, they are by far the best adapted
to such congregations as I have had to preach to; at any rate, in
my opinion. And, as a further proof of their adaptation to the
people's wants (and indeed the best proof that could be given), I
have been requested by some of my parishioners to lend them
sermons, which were almost _verbatim et literatim_ transcripts of
yours. That you may judge of the extent to which I have been
indebted to you, I may mention that out of about seventy sermons
which I preached at W--, five or six were Paley's and fifteen or
sixteen yours. For my own credit's sake I must add, that all the
rest were entirely my own."--_Extracted from the letter of a
stranger to the Author._
