DEDICATION.

ny Parishioners, present and former, and to the many genriends whose kindnesses I can repay only in words, these ses, written at various periods of my ministry, and conimperfections, repetitions, and perhaps incongruities, to know they will be indulgent, — offered, as this volume is, a heart-token than as laying claim to intellectual merit, ended chiefly as a slight memorial of my regard for them, ery respectfully and affectionately inscribed by

A. B. MUZZEY.
