Excerpt from The Sermons of Henry Ward Beecher, in Plymouth Church, Brooklyn: From Verbatim Reports by T. J. Ellinwood, "Plymouth Pulpit," Fourth Series, March, 1870 September, 1870

There are thousands of neighborhoods without churches, and with but occasional preaching; there is many a vil lage whose church is without a pastor in which these ser mons are read. In many instances, and some of especial interest, the services of the sanctuary have been kept up in the absence of a pastor by the reading of these sermons, and the congregations have grown from Sunday to Sunday.

They are carried by Christian people on travels and voyages, and even in the distant lands, on the Sabbath, they perform their benign work, not only refreshing to the wanderer's soul, but bring back to him the endearing as sociations of home and the home-church. They have also proved a great solace to those who by reason of sickness or infirmity are kept from the House of God.

I am devoutly grateful and thankful for the privilege of preaching the truth as it is in Jesus, to multitudes whom I shall never see in the flesh; and my prayer is, that these sermons may still go on their way doing good.
