FAITH TRIUMPHANT: A FUNERAL SERMON, PREACHED IN CARR'S LANE CHAPEL, BIRMINGHAM, ON OCCASION OF THE DEATH OF MRS. JAMES, WIFE OF THE REV. AA. JAMES, BY THE REV. GEORGE REDFORD, D.D. LL.D. TOGETHER WITH A BRIEF MEMOIR OF THE DECEASED BY HER HUSBAND. LONDON: PRINTED FOR HAMILTON, ADAMS, AND CO. B. HUDSON, BIRMINGHAM. 1841. ΤΟ THE REV. JOHN ANGELL JAMES. To you, my dear Brother, I beg respectfully to dedicate the following Discourse, preached at your request, to commemorate the removal of one most deservedly dear to you, and most affectionately beloved by all who knew her. The sentiments of the Discourse will, I know, approve themselves to your enlightened judgment, because they carry with them inspired authentication, and because they verified their efficiency in the experience of that inestimable Christian Lady whose life they uniformly influenced, and whose death they cheered and made triumphant. But the style and the manner of illustration will require your candour and that of the reader. The setting is rough and homely, but the jewel is precious. Let these imperfections be lost amidst its splendours. That Christian faith herein portrayed has identified your late beloved partner with the glorified apostle of the Gentiles. You have long proclaimed to the world and to the church the value of such a faith in Jesus Christ. |
