The Rev. Dr. Daniel Baker, of Texas, has been a devoted and experimental preacher of the Gospel for many years, and perhaps no minister has been more blessed in his labours during the present century. This volume embraces some of the most popular and effective sermons preached by him during his recent tour in the Southern and South-Western States; when, as the result of little more than three months labour, in which he cordially cooperated with the pastors of the churches that he visited, more than six hundred persons, as it is believed, were converted unto God, of whom more than two-thirds were males, and not a few professional men. Also a number of young men, many of whom have already commenced a course of study, with a view ultimately to preach the gospel.
The following Sermons have no necessary connexion with the first series, contained in another volume, published in the year 1846 . Each volume is complete by itself, though the two are fit companions for each other.
The present series of Sermons, together with those embraced in the first series, are selected from some five hundred Sermons, which the author, during his long ministry, has prepared with great care. They can scarcely fail of being eminently profitable to the Church of Christ and to the souls of men. They address the understanding as well as the heart, and bring prominently to view those precious truths which the Spirit of God has been wont, in all ages, to make effectual to salvation.
Preface:
This volume of sermons is designed to be a continuation of a series of "Revival Sermons," published in one volume, a few years since; and which first volume has passed to a second edition. If it be asked why these discourses have been called Revival Sermons, the author would simply state, not only that they were designed to be of an awakening character, but were preached (in substance) in numerous revivals, and were blessed, to the hopeful conversion of many precious souls, of whom some fifty or more have become ministers of the gospel.
May He who was pleased to bless these discourses when they came from the Pulpit, bless them also now coming from the Press. And to His great name be all the praise.
