"Idleness is the very rust and canker of the soul; the devil's cushion, pillow, chief reposal; his very tide-time of temptation, as it were, wherein he carries with much care, and without contradiction, the current of our corrupt affections to any cursed sin."--Bolton.

Excerpt from Illustrative Gatherings for Preachers and Teachers: A Manual of Anecdotes, Facts, Figures, Proverbs, Quotations, Etc;, Adapted for Christian Teaching IN presenting a Second Series of Illustrative Gather ings to the Church, the author must apologizepfor the delay which has occurred in its appearance. The very kind reception the First Series met with, - its extensive sale, - the general and cordial approbation of the press, combined with the many testimonies to its usefulness re ceived privately, - furnished the greatest encouragement to believe that a second volume would be as kindly wel comed.
