“Remember now thy Creator.”—A Sermon to the Young.
By J. K. Popham, Galud Chapel, Brighton. London: C. J. Farncombe & Sons, Ltd., 30 Imperial Buildings, Ludgate Circus, London, E.C. Price 1d., by post, 1½d.; 1/ per doz., 2/ 25, 3/6 50, 6/6 100, post free.
Messrs. Farncombe have sent us this excellent Sermon to the Young by Mr. Popham. It is a reprint from the “Gospel Standard” of May, 1916. We sincerely wish that Mr. Popham and his brethren would preach sermons of this stamp oftener. Our Strict Baptist friends confine themselves for most part too exclusively to the quickened family of God in their preaching. The Lord makes use of His Word in law and gospel to produce life where it is not, as well as to sustain it where it is. We have no promise of salvation to the elect in a state of nature—at least to those who are adults—apart from the knowledge of the truth. It is the work of the gospel minister to sow the seed of truth; it is the work of God to send the dew of His Spirit along with the same; and for all that the minister knows—secret things belong to God—the most, or even all of the unconverted, in any particular congregation may belong to the number of the elect whom God purposes to save. The address of Heavenly Wisdom is: “Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.” “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” We have great pleasure in recommending this sermon of Mr. Popham’s to our readers, and trust it may be widely circulated, with the divine blessing.
“Such an High Priest.”
We have also received a little tract by Mr. Popham, entitled “Such an High Priest,” and suitable for insertion in a letter. It is a reprint from the “Gospel Standard” of November, 1915, and may be recommended as a choice drop of honey in the gospel sense—wholesome and comforting to those who “labour and are heavy laden.” (No price is mentioned.)
“Our Delayed Victory.”
By H. H. Martin. London: Protestant Truth Society (J. A. Kensit, Secretary), 3-4 St. Paul’s Churchyard, London, E.C. Price 1d. each, postage ½d. extra; 7/6 per 100.
This is a first-class booklet dealing with the various errors and sins of the day, which are undoubtedly bringing God’s judgments upon us, and delaying the desired victory. We can cordially recommend the booklet. It is got up in a neat, attractive form, and contains much very useful information.
