Being a Devotional Exposition of the Continuous Teaching of the Church throughout the Year

By Melville Scott, Vicar of Castlechurch, Stafford

Second Edition, published by Bemrose & Sons, London in 1903

THE texts for all of his future sermons, which God knows were not many, were constantly taken out of the Gospel for the day; and he did as constantly declare why the Church did appoint that portion of Scripture to be that day read; and in what manner the Collect for every Sunday does refer to the Gospel or Epistle then read to them.
